| Physical Description: | Simple ladle with traditional shape: round ladle with plain handle and wide flat tip. |
| Description: | The 1859 Comstock Lode discovery provided a large silver supply, and silver flatware became a dining essential. New serving pieces were introduced during the 1880s and 1890s, before the number of pieces in any one pattern began to decline. Grace Campbell (or perhaps her daughter, Helen Campbell Powell) acquired a few early 19th century silver serving pieces, to complement flatware sets acquired after 1890. Silversmith Andrew Wilkie created this ladle in Edinburgh Scotland in 1824-25. |
