This Georgian serving utensil is a solid sterling silver ladle created in the style of the period by maker Hester Bateman around 1780. The polished metal shines in a bright silver colour throughout its curved stem and circular bowl, while the tapered handle culminates in a flared terminal. Detailed inspection reveals faint marks inside the bowl alongside an engraved heraldic crest of a cannon belonging to the Davy family and others near the end of the handle. Measuring 31.2 cm in length and 9.2 cm in width, the piece has a substantial weight of 152 grams. Practical for everyday use, this functional antique serves soups, sauces, and punches at dining tables or buffet meals. Placed upon a sideboard top when not in service, it brings traditional English country house character to table settings during family dinners and dinner parties alike. The solid silver construction provides durability for serving guests while maintaining an elegant presentation during formal dining occasions.

FAQs

Georgian silver ladles produced during the 18th century reflect the formal dining customs of the period, crafted primarily in London silversmith workshops for serving soups and punches at aristocratic tables.

These pieces were hand-forged from sterling silver with a purity of 925 parts per thousand, featuring hand-beaten circular or oval bowls joined to long curved handles often finished with armorial crests.

Authentic pieces carry British assay office hallmarks, including the makers mark, the lion passant for sterling standard, a date letter, and the sovereigns head duty mark where applicable.

Antique silver ladles can be displayed on a sideboard top inside a glazed cabinet or integrated into formal table arrangements as functional serving pieces during dinner gatherings.

Clean silver gently with a non-abrasive silver foam or polish using a soft cloth, rinse in warm water, and store in anti-tarnish fabric sleeves away from excessive moisture.
