The Punch Ladle has a long, hollow, cylindrical handle which tapers to a smaller diameter as it meets the bowl. One-third from the top end of the handle, which terminates with a domed cap, there is a rounded rib. The ladle's bowl is flat on the bottom with sides at slightly-rounded right angles. The top edge of the bowl has a rounded, rolled edge.
