About
A tablespoon is a large dining or serving utensil measuring about 7.5 inches long.
A tablespoon is typically the largest piece of spoon cutlery in a standard place setting, noticeably longer than a teaspoon or dessert spoon. Utensil lengths often vary between 7 and 8.5 inches (18 and 22 cm) depending on whether the design is intended for eating soup or serving side dishes. In cooking, the name also represents a fixed volume of half a fluid ounce (15 ml), regardless of the physical size of the silverware itself.
From Wikipedia
A tablespoon is a large spoon and a cooking measure of volume. In many English-speaking regions, the term now refers to a large spoon used for serving.
