£42 / ~$60 seems to be the most expensive pure Ladle I can find: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Alessi-Mirror-Finish-4180-10/dp/B000PS4Q70/ref=sr_1_16?s=kitchen&ie=UTF

Special mention goes to a £172 / ~$230 Exoglass Spatula: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Matfer-Exoglass-Spatula-utensils-kitchen/dp/B0039VAD22/ref=sr_1_1?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1325223701&sr=1-1 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Matfer-Exoglass-Spatula-utensils-kit... I was curious what "Exoglass" is, apparently... "It is a special hi-tech plastic developed by Matfer of France. It is used in the handles of their pastry utensils. It is extremely durable, hygienic, and heat resistant. (Both hot and cold extremes)" but there is no reference of the material outside of cooking, is that strange or interesting I'm not sure.
