Fantastic gift, I have purchased a few and everyone loves it! Just purchased two more to have on hand!

It floats. It scoops. The bottom spiderwebs when your 7 mo old ganks it off the counter and heaves it earthwards. Was great up until then.

It is very neat design. It even stands on its own on a table. The only thing is the actual spoon is so deep, it is difficult to get a small amount. It scoops a quite large amount. But it is very cute and stylish.

other comments discussed not liking the ladel bc its too heavy; I appreciate how substantial it feels.Pleased w purchase. Just balances on the counter.

In love with the presence! Swanky is a hit on my dining table!! Absolutely recommend this ladle!

Our dinner guests always rave about this adorable, durable ladle. I use it with a large off white soup tureen and it matches perfectly!

So far, so good. We've used it once and it stood right up, like the description says.. its pretty neat.

Very nice! Floats in water and stands on table. White would be nicer but it’s out of stock on Amazon and I need it for Christmas. I didn’t have a lot of things to buy but if you are buying multiple ototo products, do check out their website! Also the dispenser I got from Amazon has smaller opening which does not work with this ladle (or any ladle I have). The one with wide opening and wooden lid is from Target.

I thought this might be pricy for what it was BUT let me tell you, this thing is awesome. My guests loved it. I forgot to take a picture of it in the soup I made so I put water in a pot to show you that it really does float on top of the water in the pot. It's weighted down so that's what makes it stand by itself on the counter or stove top too. Trust me this is a great deal and conversation piece.

Using this ladle makes me smile. It is a fun conversation piece.
