World Menagerie, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. Shaped like a duck, this ladle makes for a wonderful addition to the kitchen utensils. Peten Wood Artisan Sculptors presents this charming ladle carved by hand from natural jobillo wood, which is a sustainable wood with brown to dark red and golden hues. Please note that hot and/or spicy food may dye the natural wood, yet spoons can be filed and finished with oil to return to natural coloring.
