Victoria Pattern Silver Sauce Ladle

Antique Silver Victoria Pattern Sauce Ladle.


Looking for an Antique Silver Sauce Ladle? This one is really nice with its unusaul Victoria pattern. You can view it here Antique Silver Victoria Pattern Gravy Ladle where it sells with free UK postage for just £86 and you can view multiple pictures or you can view it through the Silver2treasure Ebay Store where it is priced at £95 with just one image.



 It is in the Victoria pattern which is on both sides of the handle. It is made from a good guage of silver and has clear hallmarks for LONDON 1854/55 with Silver Makers Marks: H.H (Henry Holland of Holland Aldwinckle & Slater).


It is in very good condition with just some very very light surface scratching which is only to be expected on a metal item, but this is very minor and commensurate with age and use.


Stock No. 4610 & 4611

What is the difference between antique and vintage?

Heres an interesting question which I often see asked.

http://www.workwasters.com/break-room/what-is-the-difference-between-antique-and-vintage/#comment-56790

Antique silver is silver which is at least 100 years old
