Antique Style Brass Iron Hearth Ladle Dipper 20in Long Handle Primitive Decor

Bring rustic character and old-world warmth to your kitchen or hearth with this traditional brass and iron ladle. Its long, dark iron handle ends in a curled hanging loop, while the rounded brass bowl has a richly aged, hammered surface that catches the light beautifully. The contrast between the golden metal and weathered iron makes this a striking piece of primitive-inspired decor. Measuring approximately 20 inches long, this hearth-style dipper features a flat iron strap handle secured to the bowl with two rivets. Similar utensils were traditionally used near open fires, but the precise age, origin, and maker of this example are unknown. Because there is a small hole in the bottom of the bowl, this piece is offered for decorative display only, not for food preparation or holding liquids.
