Steelpan 1737

"Steelpan" is a silver ladle with a wooden handle created by Frederik van (II) Strant in 1737. The piece is a good example of the craftsmanship of Dutch silversmiths in the 18th century. The piece is small, with a height of 1.1 cm and a length of 7.5 cm. While it's unclear what the specific purpose of this ladle was, it likely served a practical function for everyday use in a wealthy household, perhaps for serving sauces or other liquids.
