Delicate in scale yet richly detailed, this small ladle by Graham Brant continues his exploration of cast organic forms translated into functional tableware a study in proportion, surface, and restraint. Measuring 198mm / 7.7 in overall length, with a 20mm by 35mm bowl formed from polished brass sheet, it is an intimate object suited for salt, sauce, or a measured pour at the table.

The handle is constructed from two cast bronze sticks, joined and shaped into a gently tapering vertical form that feels gathered rather than drawn. Along its length, cast bronze seed pods rest within sterling silver cups, each accented with fine silver grains. Near the center, two small flowers emerge in subtle relief, introducing a moment of botanical symmetry within the otherwise naturalistic structure.

The warm reflectivity of the brass bowl contrasts with the darker, textured bronze above, while the silver elements provide measured points of light. Each material remains distinct, each placement deliberate.

Fully functional yet unmistakably sculptural, this ladle occupies that rare space between tool and object. Small in scale, considered in detail, and rooted in landscape, it offers a refined glimpse into Grahams evolving body of work.
