Ladle 1788 - 1820

"Ladle" is a pewter ladle with a wooden handle created by Richard Lee between 1788 and 1820. This simple but elegant piece of kitchenware showcases the craftsmanship of the time and its functional design. Its rounded bowl and long handle, typical of ladles, would have been used for serving liquids during meals. The ladle is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
