Huge Sterling Arts & Crafts Punch Ladle.

I cannot offer any background information on this article but its very impressive and is fashioned in a very primitive, arts & crafts manner. It is extremely well handcrafted with an exaggerated hammered texture, featuring a very wide two-lipped bowl and a hook handle. Made by John Wannamaker of Philadelphia, c.1900. Hallmarked with an eagle between two rectangles. In one is the maker's mark JW and in the other is 925/100. Dimensions: 16.5" long. Bowl is 6" wide.
