Description
A rare item of late 18th century silver flatware. This unusual piece, often thought to be a very large salt spoon, is a hallmarked silver spice ladle with wriggle edge engraving to the border. The shank is in Old English pattern and has a lovely engraved armorial to the top front.
Spice ladles were used at the table to serve the varied spices, so beloved of Georgians, directly to a meal. A great collector's item with a practical use.
