The silver plated serving ladle in the América pattern is perfect for dishing up rice and potatoes. The wide and round bowl minimizes damage to the food. Following World War I, America became synonymous with modernity and the world fell in love with its music, literature, art, lifestyle and architecture. To commemorate the across-the-pond admiration, Christofle named this 1933-launched Art Deco pattern of angular corners, beveled edges and masculine lines after the country. Created in 1933 & presented at the International Exposition of Arts & Techniques in 1937, the angular corners of this model are characteristic of the Art Deco style.
