Antique Pewter Ladle 13.5in

This antique pewter ladle is a fine example of early 20th-century utilitarian craftsmanship, designed with both function and durability in mind. Measuring 13.5 inches in length with a deep, rounded bowl, this piece was once a staple in kitchens for serving soups, stews, or sauces. The handle features a simple, slightly flared end, typical of early colonial-inspired pewterware. Its unpolished patina and light surface wear add to its authentic vintage charm, making it equally desirable for collectors of antique pewter, historical kitchenware, or rustic farmhouse décor.
