Stock No. 2473	Irish silver sauce ladle with a part wooden handle
	Delightful mid eighteenth century Irish sterling silver sauce ladle with a partly wooden handle. Made in Dublin in circa 1740 by Andrew Goodwin. The ladle is stamped with the maker's mark only in the centre of the bowl. The bowl is circular and quite deep. The handle is 5.9 inches (15 cm) long in all and the last 3.6 inches (9.1 cm) is made of wood..
	Maker :- Andrew Goodwin

Condition :-Very good with a lovely patina and a good, clear maker's mark.
Hallmarked :- Dublin 1740
Size :-	8.2 inches (20.8 cm) long overall x 2.3 inches (5.8 cm) diameter of bowl x 1 inch (2.5 cm) depth of bowl
The depth of this ladle's bowl makes this a very versatile and useful serving implement, both for savoury or sweet sauces. Also, the fact that the end of the handle is made of wood means that one does not burn one's fingers if the ladle has been left in hot gravy. Andrew Goodwin played a significant role in the Dublin community.
