I received these thru my mother's estate. No idea what they were used for. Quite a long sharp skewer for something like lemon? Interesting tops to them: cupid? dragon body? mummy? royal? warrior?
Marked "800" and about 5" long.

Great solve KYRA ... tu les as kyratisées !!!
This is wonderful information - thanks!!
Any comments on the theme of the things on the end? Quite peculiar for such a "proper manners" type utensil.
Merci Vetraio/Kevin !
Jplamm, I think it is only deco, but not handy at all for a clever implement ; -)
So this is where I’d seen them before ????
