Ladles and vessels

I did manage to finish eight ladles and trio of cone shaped vessels I started on Friday. I also completed a set of salad servers (below) for a friend.

I love the contrast of the shiny silver-plated vessels against the rust on the rusting table.

Now I need to create a price-product list of seven of the ladles. Only seven will go to Maleny Additions as one ladle had a corrosion flaw on the inside of the cone shaped bowl (below) so it has now made its way into the kitchen draw.
