Not being catholic, and therefore having never been served the Holy Ghost in any form, what makes you think it was made for serving same?

Hi Carolyn, the guy i bought it from suggested it was religious as he bought it along with other religious items from a church sale, !, so the only thing that i could come up with due to the shape and that little bit of history was maybe a Host spoon !!!. Maybe i have invented something ... !!!.
I found the mark on it on a brooch in the V & A Museum if that's of any interest to anyone !. . . Shrugs
