汤匙

This is a 'teaspoon', smaller than a 汤匙 (tāngchí).

This is a general term for 'tableware' or 'eating utensils', which includes 汤匙 (tāngchí).

This specifically refers to a 'ladle' or large serving spoon, a type of 勺子 (sháozi).

Both 汤匙 (tāngchí) and 勺子 (sháozi) can mean 'spoon'.

汤匙 (tāngchí) specifically refers to a soup spoon, often a Western-style rounded spoon. 勺子 (sháozi) is a more general term for any spoon, including ladles or serving spoons, and can refer to more traditional Chinese spoons that might have a flatter bottom or be larger. Think of 汤匙 as a specific type of 勺子.
