Big spoons - unusual big +30cm

[Hose_dk]

This tread is for big spoons. They are in a variety of forms and age. So lets take a look.


We have 3 different type of laddles with wooden handle. 2 made of coins from England late 1700hundreds (18 Century) 2 Swedish 19th Century and then 2 that du not belong here. They are same type one made of a coconut Shell and one in pewter. The coconut Shell have silver mounting (? is that the Word?)
Then we have 6 different grødskeer one in aluminium and one in silverplater. Rest is silver.
Finely we have 3 laddles from England, Germany and Austria Hungaria.
The rular seen on the top Picture between spoon no 4 and 5 Count from right. Its 30 cm.

2 English laddles for punch. The top one 5,5cm bowl and 30 cm baleen twisted handdle. 35 cm from silver tip to bowl.
Bowl made by 2 coins. One George II in bottom and one made into the rococo bowl.

Used for punch in the late Empire - an absolut nesessity for a swedish Family.

We allow ourself to go off topic. A coco-nut was so rare that it was used and had a silver fitting. Only one not very clear mark so no chance to identify. Coconut so rare and excotic that it was even repaired when it broke.
The other one pewter - so we leave them just for display.

I am fascinated by ladles and little by little I've racked up a good amount.
I'd like to put on display the most beautiful ones.
Anyone have any suggestions for building a rack or some other device fit for purpose?
