Soeplepel met rechthoekige bak en steel met spatelvormig uiteinde 1826

This silver soup ladle, crafted in 1826 by Dutch silversmith Pieter Las van Bennekom, features a rounded bowl and a long, elegant handle culminating in a spade-shaped end. Its refined form and lustrous finish showcase the silversmith's skill, embodying the refined taste of the 19th century. The ladle's size and weight (30.9 cm length, 9.5 cm width, 7.1 cm depth, 220 grams) suggest it was intended for serving soup or other liquids in a grand setting. This piece, a testament to Dutch silverwork, offers a glimpse into the everyday life of the wealthy during this period.
