Antique Solid Silver

APOSTLE SAUCE LADLE

-----------

Hallmarked for London 1878

with the maker`s mark - H J L, for

Henry John Lias

This mark only appears for about a year.

The father & son partnership (HL over HL) was 

registered in 1850. Possibly the father died and

the son continued using his own mark.

-----------

A superb ladle, the deep, gilded bowl is almost

perfectly round. The straight stem has a barley

twist section to the centre, with an apostle at

the end. Towards the bowl is the figure of a 

woman, who might be in a coffin. Between this

and the bowl is the head of a man.
