Northeastern Woodlands Ash Burl Ladle/Scoop

Circa: 1780-1800
Size: 9 3/4" oal; (bowl) 4 3/4" W x 4 1/2"
This is likley a serving ladle rather than a personal ladle, due to the size and shape of the bowl. It has a fine body with good curves and an unusually short hook. The transition from the back of the bowl to the back of the handle is seamlessly resolved.
