A beautifully hand-wrought copper and iron ladle retaining an exceptional untouched surface and strong sculptural form. Featuring a deep hand-raised copper bowl secured with three early rivets to a long forged iron handle with hand-formed hanging loops at both ends. The handle displays pronounced hammer texture and subtle irregularities associated with period blacksmith work. Rich oxidized iron contrasts beautifully against the warm copper surface, giving the piece outstanding primitive and folk art presence. An evocative surviving example of early hearth cooking equipment with wonderful wall display quality.
