$504.00
Presented is a great American coin silver serving ladle, dating to around the 1820s. The ladle is done in a handsome classical Fiddle pattern, with the fiddlehead shaped handle and distinctive shoulders above the bowl. The ladle is a good large size with a generously portioned round bowl, great for serving soup, punch, or anything else you like. The front of the handle has a monogram of RES in script, while the back of the handle has the initials FPH and David.
This piece is in great condition. There are no splits, no breaks, no dents, no monogram removals, and no repairs.
The ladle is not stamped or hallmarked, but we have tested it with nitric acid and guarantee it to be coin (900) purity silver.
The ladle is about 14 inches long.
The ladle weighs 250 grams or 8.8 regular ounces.
