Overview
Two vintage silverplate ladles in different patterns. The smaller ladle has a handle covered in raised scrolls and shells, with a crosshatched panel at the end. The same scrollwork spreads over the top of its bowl, inside and out. The larger ladle has a shaped handle with a raised flower at the tip, a second flower at the middle, and a small flower where the stem meets the bowl. Both have deep round bowls. They suit gravy, sauces, soup or punch, and they work well with other mixed silverplate on a holiday table or buffet.
Background
Silverplate ladles in scroll and floral patterns were made by many American makers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The scroll-pattern ladle is stamped "WM. ROGERS" with a star on the back of the stem. The flower-pattern ladle is stamped "PILGRIM SILVER CO." and "DOUBLE PLATE". The pattern names are not marked. These are silver plated, not sterling silver.
Condition
Used vintage condition with no breaks. Both ladles have fine scratches and tarnish. The larger ladle has dark spots inside the bowl, and the bottoms of both bowls have a dull, worn area in the finish. They have not been polished. Please see all photos.
Dimensions & Weight
The larger ladle is 10.5 inches long with a bowl 3.3 inches wide. The smaller ladle is 9.5 inches long with a bowl 3 inches wide. Together they weigh 9.5 oz.
