A silver soup ladle isn't an everyday item – it comes out for special occasions and spends the rest of the time in the cupboard. That's exactly when silver tarnishes. This cutlery case keeps your soup ladle tarnish-protected and ready to use, without having to polish it every time you take it out. The case is double-layered: tarnish-resistant felt on the inside, cotton on the outside. The cotton outer layer reduces oxygen exposure – the main cause of silver tarnishing. It fits soup ladles and punch ladles up to 40 cm in total length. At a Glance For soup ladles and punch ladles up to 40 cm in total length Double-layered construction for better tarnish protection than single-layer cases Double-layered: tarnish-resistant felt inside, cotton outside Colour: dark green outside, black inside Made in Germany Why a Cutlery Case? Silver tarnishes when sulphur compounds from the air come into contact with the surface. A regular drawer or box does little to prevent this. The case wraps the soup ladle in tarnish-resistant fabric – slowing the process considerably. If you only use your ladle on special occasions, that makes a real difference. Since Albec stopped production, this case has been made exclusively for us by a German manufacturer. The quality and construction have stayed the same. Any questions, or want to see it in person?

Please measure your ladle before ordering. How long does the tarnish protection last? It depends on storage conditions – in our experience, silver stored in a well-closed case stays bright for many years. The double-layered construction ensures as little oxygen as possible reaches the silver. What's the difference to a single-layer case? Single-layer cases are often a bit cheaper – but they offer less protection. The cotton outer layer of this double-layered case adds an extra barrier against oxygen. If you want your ladle to stay bright as long as possible, the double-layer version is the better choice. Can I wash the case? We'd advise against it. Washing can affect the tarnish-resistant properties of the felt. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "Will my soup ladle fit?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "The case fits soup ladles and punch ladles up to 40 cm in total length.
