On offer is an authentic late 18th- to early 19th-century toddy ladle featuring a hand-twisted whalebone handle and a silver bowl. The bowl has been tested as silver (unhallmarked, therefore described as white metal) and carries engraved initials, adding period character. Twisted whalebone handles were a recognised feature of Georgian ladles, produced through a specialist steaming and shaping process.

Measuring approximately 14 inches in length, this example remains in good condition for its age, with minor dents to the bowl and a sound, intact handle. A fine and increasingly scarce example of Georgian drinking and tableware.
