This is a good quality late Victorian Sterling Silver Sauce Ladle in the classic Old English pattern. The ladle has the initials A P elegantly engraved in copperplate style at the top of the stem.

The sauce ladle was made in London by renowned silversmiths Holland, Aldwinckle & Slater and dates to 1890. The firm was founded in 1838 by Henry Holland and Thomas Frercks, who left the partnership in 1841. Henry Holland then continued by himself before being joined by his son, Henry Jnr in 1851. After Henry Snr’s retirement in 1883, John Aldwinckle and James Slater joined as partners to form Holland, Aldwinckle & Slater. The firm continued to be managed by various members of these three families until the firm was bought out by Francis Higgins in 1922.

Overall condition is good, with just one small ding in the bowl plus the superficial surface wear that you would expect after over 130 years of use. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The sauce ladle is 17.5cm / 6.9ins long and 5.9cm / 2.3ins wide across the rim of the bowl. It weighs in at a very respectable 71.3g / 2.5oz of solid Sterling Silver.

The hallmarks, on the underside of the stem, are a little rubbed but still clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the leopard's head assay mark for London, the date letter P for 1890 and the quatrefoil J A over T S mark for John Aldwinckle and Thomas Slater of Holland, Aldwinckle & Slater.
