Description
Ladle made from recycled motor oil tins with a cylindrical, flat bottomed bowl. [EC 'DCF 2004-2006 What's Upstairs?' 6/3/2006]
Long description
The main body of the vessel has round flat base and straight sides. Around the mouth of the ladle there is a thin lip. A long thin strip of metal has been nailed to one side of the ladle. This forms a handle for the ladle. The handle is turned over at the end to enable the whole ladle to be hung up. The designs and writing printed on the oil cans can be seen on the inside of the ladle. The outside is undecorated. [MdeA 9/12/99]
