John Burt Lyng

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Ladle by John Burt Lyng. Silver ladle with a long handle and a large, shallow bowl. The bowl is positioned on the left side, and the handle extends to the right. The bowl has a slightly raised edge. The handle is thin and smooth, with a slight curve near the bowl and a flat, wide end. The ladle is lying on a plain gray surface, with a subtle shadow underneath. The background is a plain gray color that gradually darkens towards the top.
