This sterling silver gravy ladle, part of the Marly collection, is ideal for serving sauces and gravies and is presented with the serving pieces. Marly, named after a no-longer-standing pleasure palace built by Louis XIV outside Paris, has been one of the most detailed and ornate patterns in the Christofle's catalog since it was created in 1897. The fine chasing is an exquisite example of Rocaille with its asymmetrical crawling plant and shell motifs.
