French ladle help

Hello everyone,

I have a large French ladle with a maker's mark - I think it is LL with a rabbit. It weighs 8.5oz or 243grams for those of you who are metric! It's 13.5"/34 cms long and has a crest on the back of the handle, which I believe is my grandmother's family. The wording is "Plus d'honneur que d'honneurs" and the pennant says "Lancea Sacra".

If anyone can throw any light on it I'd be very grateful. Hope these photos help.

Hi,
The maker's mark belongs to Laurent Labbé.
He was active from 1829 till 1852 in Paris, 61 rue Quicampoix.
Regards.
