It is indeed massive, weighs in at 136 grams, the other example I found weighs 103 grams, this is so drastic a difference that I am trying to find differences between my example and the other example, but they seem very similar otherwise :::

This pattern has been described as a "multi-motif," and there seems to be two kinds of flowers in these pieces, one is an Iris and the other is another type of flower ::: This ladle has the Iris motif
