Description:
The Antique Soup Ladle is a silver-plated utensil measuring 27cm in length, manufactured by Walker & Hall. Walker & Hall was a prominent British silversmith and cutlery manufacturer known for their high-quality silverware during the 19th and early 20th centuries. This particular soup ladle is a relic from that era, reflecting the craftsmanship and design of the time.
Soup ladles, such as this one, were commonly used in households and formal dining settings to serve soup, stew, or other liquid dishes. The silver-plated finish not only added an elegant touch to the dining experience but also protected the ladle from corrosion and wear, making it a durable and functional tool for serving soups. Today, antique soup ladles like this are often collected and valued for their historical and aesthetic appeal.
