Holmes & Edwards' First Lady pattern — named with the quiet elegance that characterized the best American silverplate of its era — carries a refined foliate handle and a deep, well-proportioned bowl.
This gravy ladle is one of those pieces that earns its place on the table every time it appears: spooning pan sauce over a roast, drizzling hollandaise at brunch, serving a warm mushroom gravy at Thanksgiving. Stamped "Holmes & Edwards / Inlaid." A gravy ladle in a discontinued pattern is increasingly hard to find in this condition.
A thoughtful housewarming or holiday gift, or a graceful addition to a flatware collection.
