I'm in the process of making a stash of silver-plated ladles with hammered 'bowls'. Fiona suggested that if I were making some smaller ladles ('bowls' about 4cm diameter) and micro ladles ('bowls' about 2.5cm in diameter) then I could make some with perforations in them so they could be used for ladling olives out of oil or capers out of brine. So that is what I have done with seven of the stash. The photo above shows the micro 'bowls' nestled in a couple of deeper cone shaped ladle bowls.

Some of the larger bowls (about 7cm in diameter).
And the whole stash together.
The next task is to make 18-20 brass rod handles so they can be riveted to the bowls.
brilliant idea and equally brilliant execution
