Vintage Enamelware Dipper Ladle

It features a deep, round white enamel-coated cup with a distinct black rim and a long, matching black porcelain/enamel metal handle.  The handle terminates in a curved hanging hook. This design was highly practical for hanging the ladle along the rim of large water buckets, canning pots, or dedicated kitchen utensil racks.  Often referred to as a water dipper, these tools were staples in rustic kitchens, homesteads, and cabins before indoor plumbing was widespread, used for scooping water out of large barrels, reservoirs, or crocks. Today, they are highly collectible and frequently used as cottagecore or farmhouse style home decor.  Approximately 4 2/8” in diameter  Total Length: 14 inches (from the top of the hook to the bottom of the cup)  **Please see photos to judge condition
