Item: Soup Ladle Description: Onslow pattern with feather-edge and shoulders Hallmark: London 1768 by Thomas Evans Dimensions: approx. 335mm long; grams weight Comments: A fantastic quality soup ladle in superb condition with Onslow terminal and bright-cut feather-edged decoration. It also has an additionally rare feature, with "shoulders" on the stem close to the bowl (as per the later fiddle pattern). Onslow pattern was popular in the 1750-70's period and bright-cut decoration was just becoming fashionable circa 1770, so this ladle has a very early, interesting and attractive mix of the two. Condition is excellent with none of the usual splits or repairs to the bowl, crisp decoration and very clear hallmarks. A truly magnificent piece!
