Or, what was it for. I've seen tortiseshell "spoons" for caviar, but I've never seen a torty spreader.

Anyone?

Hello there,
You are still in the ballpark. Once you serve yourself the caviar you must have a spreader to smear the stuff across crackers or whatever. I believe you are still in the Caviar realm, but as a spreader it could be used at the whim of the owner. Butter for bread with your turtle soup?
