On offer is this lovely collectible sauce ladle. It's in good condition overall, the silver plating shines up well - minimal scuffing and scratching over the bowl (please refer to images) but as shown all adding to the aged charm and character of the piece.
It's of traditional form, the handle has been decorated with the Kings pattern which shows on both sides and also a nautical anchor crest and "USN" - US Navy.
Produced by R. Wallace (1885) for the US Navy for their officers and heads of states formal dinners, circa late 19th / early 20th century.
It measures ~18cm (~7 inches) in length and is ready to be used and enjoyed once again!
