The end of the handle is engraved with the crest of a demi- lion rampant above contemporary initials, probably I D S C, engraved in a very decorative entwined style. The handle meets the bowl with a very decorative double drop. The very clear hallmarks are stamped at the base of the handle. Maker :- Thomas Evans

Hallmarked :- London 1776
Size :- 13.6 inches (34.5 cm)long

This is a very beautiful ladle and distinctively 18th century. The crenellation on the border of the bowl gives the ladle an air of great distinction. This pattern dated principally from the 1770s. It has been copied intermittently up to the present day but later manufacturers have never managed to capture the same grace. A wonderful ladle to have on your table or to give as a gift.
