i suppose this is a toddy ladle, but i have never seen one this long (27"). it is made of sycamore, i think, and has a silver presentation medallion inset on the back of the bowl (dated 1865 from Greenock, Scotland). there is pitch inside of the bowl, which anchors the medallion, and i suspect a domed piece of silver covered it originally. am i correct that this is an extra-long toddy ladle? is the curved handle intentional or the result of aging?
