Ladle

In ancient Greece, a ladle was a standard part of any wine set, used to dip out wine from large mixing vessels into cups. The form of ladle with a rounded bowl and a hooked handle was quite long-lived. Examples from the later 300s B.C., like this one, have a shallow bowl, and the rim curves slightly inward to help prevent spills. A duck's head embellishes the end of the handle, which curls over. Surviving ladles all appear to have held a similar amount of liquid, which may be not accidental but an indication that this was a standard capacity for the Greeks.
