After stirring tea in a teabowl or tea cup, the spoon—or occasionally several spoons—would be placed on a spoon tray, never in the saucer. Worcester spoon trays date from about 1760 and seem mostly to have been intended for more wealthy customers. The standard shape was fluted and hexagonal. Spoon trays continued in production until about 1785 when they fell out of fashion.
