Silver sauce ladles have a long, rich history. In fact, ladles date back to the roman era. Evidence points to sterling silver flatware being first produced in Sheffield, England in the 1200’s. However, sterling silver ladles did not see widespread use until the mid-18th century. This was a result of formal dining habits and complex table settings that were developed in Europe.
