Ladle

Roe and Stollenwerck

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The ladle by Roe and Stollenwerck features a long handle made of silver with a flared end. The handle is flat and wide at the end, tapering to a narrower section where it meets the bowl of the ladle. The bowl of the ladle is rounded and has a slight lip around the edge. There are signs of wear on the ladle, including discoloration and tarnishing, particularly on the inside and upper edges of the bowl. The ladle is positioned at an angle, with the handle extending to the left and the bowl to the right. The background is grey.
