This tread is for big spoons. They are in a variety of forms and age. So lets take a look.


We have 3 different type of laddles with wooden handle. 2 made of coins from England late 1700hundreds (18 Century) 2 Swedish 19th Century and then 2 that du not belong here. They are same type one made of a coconut Shell and one in pewter. The coconut Shell have silver mounting (? is that the Word?)
Then we have 6 different grødskeer one in aluminium and one in silverplater. Rest is silver.
Finely we have 3 laddles from England, Germany and Austria Hungaria.
The rular seen on the top Picture between spoon no 4 and 5 Count from right. Its 30 cm.

2 English laddles for punch. The top one 5,5cm bowl and 30 cm baleen twisted handdle. 35 cm from silver tip to bowl.
Bowl made by 2 coins. One George II in bottom and one made into the rococo bowl.

The other guilded. I believed that is was similar - but

Thought it was something else but its rare and most likely the only excisting.
45 the Jacobite in 1745
Interesting person involved in the American and the war.

Two swedish laddles for punch. The largest one is V4 and from 1851 the other X4 and thereby 1852.
Used for punch in the late Empire - an absolut nesessity for a swedish Family.
44 cm & 40cm from ivery Pearl to bowl.

We allow ourself to go off topic. A coco-nut was so rare that it was used and had a silver fitting. Only one not very clear mark so no chance to identify. Coconut so rare and excotic that it was even repaired when it broke.
The other one pewter - so we leave them just for display.

Mappin & Web so good plated quality that I thought it was silver. Bought at a marked where light was Little - and I had forgotten my lup. Could only see a mark - descided must be silver. At home found the real story. It even has a mark saying SILVER PLATED - never forget your eyes

I want to be included with the big boys. So I permitted though its only 29cm.
Made by F. C. Christensen in Copenhagen in 1905.
Guardein, Maker and 3 Tower mark.

This concludes my Collection. Please upload interesting silver.

Great little collection of Big Spoons. I did notice the bowl shapes were all similar to picture I posted the other day. Completely and entirely different than any large spoon examples I have seen from England, Ireland, or America.

Thought I might add just a few more.
All London. From top to bottom 1705, 1720 and 1738. Longest 40.2 cm. Shortest 36.2 cm.


London again. From top to bottom 1758,1767 and1770. Lengths from 31.5 cm to 36 cm.


And finally London 1831. Just gets into the club at 30.4 cm.

Just in case anyone thought it was the spoonmakers that had the monopoly on oversized products:



Trev.

I am fascinated by ladles and little by little I've racked up a good amount.
I'd like to put on display the most beautiful ones.
Anyone have any suggestions for building a rack or some other device fit for purpose?
