Age of punch ladle

Postby Granmaa » Tue Dec 26, 2006 8:55 am

Here is a nice floral punch ladle; there are no hallmarks which is quite common. Does anyone have an idea about the date? Please only focus on the bowl, because the handle is a later addition.

Difficult one Miles, but would think this was clobbered in late Victorian times and might have originally been quite plain. Possibly made in 1760-90 and clobbered in late 19th.
Best wishes, Mike.

Yes, I think you're probably right Mike.
Thanks,
