Carden Terry Cream Ladle, 1790

This is a very attractive silver cream ladle with bright-cut engraving and original script monogram to the long, elegant handle. The reverse of the stem is very clearly marked "STERLING" in typical Irish provincial fashion and "CT" for the important Cork silversmith Carden Terry. Larger than a salt spoon and smaller than a sauce ladle, this rare cream ladle is a lovely piece in excellent condition.
