Lovely Old Turned Wood Ladle (Dipper) Murano glass the buttons down the frontThis is a lovely old ladle or dipper made in two parts, with a turned blonde wood handle that is notched at the end to fit over the turned bowl, which appears to be made of a different, darker wood. Use for serving soup or hot spiced cider, or just hang on the wall from the handy hook on the end! 14 1 2 long x 3 widest diameter (where handle meets bowl) and in excellent antique condition.
