Description
Before homogenization of milk was common, milk and cream separated in the bottle. If one wanted "whole milk," one shook the bottle. If the cream was wanted for other purposes the special "cream top" spoon was lowered into the neck of the bottle and used to block the "skim milk" while pouring off the cream.
