Antique Victorian Silver Sauce Ladle
$140.00
Beautiful Antique Victorian Silver Sauce Ladle made by D. Goddard between 1825-1829 in Worcester, Ma.- it is coin silver. Virtually all the silver produced in colonial America is coin silver, there was no source for silver in the colonies. It took 140 halfpennies or 70 half-real coins to make one eating spoon, and coinage was extremely scarce.
What coin silver represents in American history is astonishing. The actual difference in silver between coin & sterling is about 25/1000ths, almost nothing. This ladle has the simple style favored at the time, with shoulders above the bowl. Monogrammed M E J. Marked on the handle.
- Measures 6-3/4"l.
