This wearable pendant flask began its life as a Humphreys Homeopathic Veterinary bottle, dating to around 1900. Laddan Ledbetter has fully encased the original bottle in solid sterling silver, hand forming and engraving the exterior using traditional silversmithing techniques.

The flask is fully functional and designed to be worn on a chain, allowing it to be carried close and used as intended. Each piece is engraved entirely by hand, with subtle variations that make every example a true one-of-one collectible. While unconventional in form, the craftsmanship reflects the same discipline and care found in traditional Western silverwork.

The flask can be handled and tried on, but should be treated with care. Designed for those who appreciate both utility and story, it’s a piece that blends history, craftsmanship, and personality in equal measure.

Crafted in Texas. Solid sterling silver. Limited availability.

Part of the Wilkinson Artisan Series.

About The Artist

Ladden Ledbetter — Texas Silversmith

Raised in West Texas, Ladden Ledbetter comes from a background rooted in metal, work, and the culture that surrounds it. After time spent around welding shops, rodeo, and working with his hands, he found his way into silversmithing and hand engraving through traditional training and mentorship. The techniques he uses are time-honored. The objects he chooses are anything but expected.

Ladden applies classic hand-engraving methods to unconventional forms—sterling silver kazoos, yo-yos, spinning tops, and a flask designed to be worn around the neck. Each piece is made entirely from solid sterling silver and engraved by hand with the same discipline and precision found in traditional Western silverwork.

What sets his work apart is the balance: deeply skilled craftsmanship paired with wit and curiosity. These pieces are playful without being novelty, refined without being precious. They invite interaction, spark conversation, and carry the quiet confidence of something made properly, start to finish.
