Anybody familiar with this style silver spoon? Any ideas on what they were used for?

We have a full set of 12 with a handwritten note calling them devil spoons. We are guessing because of the 2 tabs that may sit on the lip of a glass look like horns. The shape looks like it is probably a sugar spoon. It may be an absinthe spoon but does not have the holes you typically see in a absinthe spoon.

It is a specialty spoon designed to rest across a tea cup to hold a tea bag. Google sterling tea bag spoon and you can find similar examples.

brandy, sugar cube, light it, is correct.

Café Brulot Diabolique is the "devil" coffee. Served at Galatoire's. Silver bowl, brandy with cloves, cinnamon stick, orange peel, Light it, stir it, add coffee
