I was about to take and post a photograph when I realised there must be hundreds of them on Ebay.  Will this suffice : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Six-Desert-Spoons-B-JS-Ltd-Very-old-EPNS-/300485573219?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Kitchen_Cutlery_PP&hash=item45f655fa63 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Six-Desert-Spoons-B-JS-Ltd-Very-old-EPNS-/300485573219?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Kitchen_Cutlery_PP&hash=item45f655fa63), or do you need more detail ?  They hold about 10ml, or two teaspoonsful, by the way.

Thanks Phil,

Looks pretty much like a Tablespoon to me.

Yes, they look very similar in some styles (our old family EPNS are identical except for size) but the desertspoon is only 2/3 the size of the tablespoon.

Presumably you're interestd in what quantity a dessert spoon is rather than its visual attributes, in which case it's 10ml.
