Erica Moody | Small Tinned Ladle

A small brass ladle with a tinned silvery bowl. A tasting spoon, maple syrup drizzler, sugar spoon....

Each piece is unique in areas and colors of tinning on the back of the bowl. The inside of the bowl is fully tinned.

Brasses and coppers will mottle and darken, and both will brighten in acidic foods like tomato and lemon-based foods. Items come with a wax finish that will slow down the subtle color changes, and make them emerge more evenly. If you want to brighten it back up, instead of using traditional chemical-based silver or brass polish, you can use a mixture of equal parts lemon and fine salt, and massage it with the scouring side of a sponge, in a circular motion, with even pressure in a consistent pattern up and down over the whole item. Do not work a single darker spot, 'massage' the whole piece evenly. Item comes with a care card.
