William Eaton was a specialist spoonmaker and it is believed that around 1828 he had a connection with the firm Eley, Fearn and Chawner whose premises were next door. His work was always of good quality. King's Husk is one of the prettiest of the Victorian table service patterns. The stems have an elegant simplicity while the high relief of the husks at the end of the stems and the shells on the back of the bowls add a very festive feel. Furthermore, this pattern is always of heavy gauge when in good condition. These ladles would make an excellent present.
