The gravy ladle is used to serve gravy, which is a sauce made of meat drippings and thickenings. It tends not to be healthy in large quantities, but it is a very traditional dish. Gravy can always be kept warm and poured over foods that have cooled . Gravy is one of the trickiest things to make consistently well; it is the difference between following a recipe and cooking artistically. Anybody who makes good gravy is a truly skilled cook. This ladle is great for making the crater in the mashed potatoes that holds in the gravy, making it almost a toy, as there are many games bored children can play with mashed potatoes, gravy, and a ladle. Other uses are for serving cheese sauces, fruit salsas, and compotes. The gravy ladle offered here measures about 7”. This is not a piece of new silver. It shows the patina of as much as 145 years of careful use. There are the light scratches which constitute normal patina. There is no monogram. Silver is softly lustrous. There is no silver loss. The pattern is crisp and clear. This ladle has been carefully used and well cared for. I polish all silver before listing on eBay. Please email with any questions before bidding.
