Detailed explanation-1: -A teaspoon is the smallest, a tablespoon is the largest, and then a DESSERT spoon falls in between.

Detailed explanation-2: -You can buy mini measuring spoons based around two different measurement systems: Most are extensions of the teaspoon system and come in amounts like 1/8 tsp, 1/16 tsp, 1/32tsp, and 1/64 tsp. These spoons are usually labelled with cutesy names like “tad”, “dash”, “nip”, “smidgen”, and “drop”.

Detailed explanation-3: -The teaspoon is a measuring spoon used for very small measurements. In a set of measuring spoons, the teaspoon is usually the third spoon, followed by a 1/2 teaspoon, a 1/4 teaspoon, and sometimes a 1/8 teaspoon. One teaspoon is equal to 1/6 fluid ounce.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dashes, pinches, and smidgens are all traditionally very small amounts well under a teaspoon, but not more uniformly defined. In the early 2000s some companies began selling measuring spoons that defined a dash as 1⁄8 teaspoon, a pinch as 1⁄16 teaspoon, and a smidgen as 1⁄32 teaspoon.

Detailed explanation-5: -These varied in size, with the smallest holding 2.5ml of liquid and the largest holding 7.3ml. A standard dosing teaspoon holds 5ml.
