This silver ladle, crafted by Thomas Chawner in 1766-1767, showcases the refined elegance of 18th-century silversmithing. The bowl, with its distinctive fluted design, reflects the prevailing Rococo style, characterized by delicate ornamentation and flowing lines. The slender handle, ending in a graceful ovoid shape, completes the graceful silhouette of this functional yet decorative piece. Now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the ladle stands as a testament to the artistry of the period and the enduring appeal of fine craftsmanship.
