Little Dipper
The Little Dipper is a silver sampling spoon. The profile of the spoon is an abstraction of the Ursa Minor constellation. Its asymmetric form allows its holder to scoop the very last bit of ice cream out of the corner of a cup.

When carving the Little Dipper, I had a great deal of trouble NOT using it as a spoon.
