This pair of Georgian sterling silver toddy ladles originates from Edinburgh and dates from 1771. Each piece is formed with a circular deep bowl and a long handle terminating in a flared shape, polished to a bright silver finish. Details include engraved initials on the handle terminals and subtle reflections visible across the polished bowl interiors, along with one small spot near the front upper stalk. Measuring 19 cm high and 5 cm wide, these utensils possess a slender profile that allows them to cross naturally when placed together on a flat surface. In a modern home, they find a suitable placement on a sideboard top or within a gentleman's library display, serving both a decorative function and a connection to eighteenth-century dining traditions.

FAQs

A Georgian silver toddy ladle is a specialised serving utensil crafted during the Georgian era, traditionally designed to serve warm punch or toddy beverages from a bowl into individual cups.

These ladles were hand-hammered from sterling silver, frequently featuring solid silver handles or handles constructed from turned wood, horn, or twisted baleen.

Authentic Georgian Edinburgh silver bears official Scottish assay marks, including the Edinburgh castle town mark, the monarchs duty mark, a makers mark, and a specific date letter.

Antique silver ladles are typically displayed on a sideboard top inside a crystal punch bowl, placed on bar carts, or wall-mounted within shadow boxes as silver metal accents.

Clean sterling silver ladles with warm water and a mild non-detergent soap, dry immediately with a soft lint-free cloth, and store in tarnish-resistant cloth bags.
