Skimmer Ladle
Name/Title
Skimmer LadleDescription
The handle bears the engraved inscription Արփաճեան 1909 (Arpajian 1909). The surname Arpajian is historically associated with Armenian families from the towns of Malatya and Palu (see weblink). Measuring 19 inches in length, the handle features a looped ring at its end, presumably designed for hanging by a fireplace or oven. This utilitarian detail, along with the personalized inscription, suggests both the functional and familial significance of the object within a domestic setting.Category
