Set of 3 Antique Copper Cider Ladles with Forged Iron Handles
This set comprises three antique copper cider ladles, likely of English origin, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. Each ladle features a hand-forged iron handle with a hooked end, designed for hanging near a hearth or fireplace. The bodies are crafted from copper, exhibiting a warm patina that reflects their age and use.
Brass plaques labeled “CIDER” are affixed to each ladle, indicating their original purpose in serving or measuring cider in traditional English pubs or households. The graduated sizes enhance their visual appeal and functionality, making them suitable for display or practical use in rustic or farmhouse-style settings.
These ladles not only serve as functional tools but also as decorative pieces that capture the essence of historical English country life.
Condition
In good condition, showing age-appropriate wear including minor dents and dings. The copper surfaces exhibit a rich patina, and the iron handles have areas of oxidation consistent with age. All components are structurally sound, and the ladles maintain their historical charm.
