Silver-Gilt Double Shell & Laurel Ladle, Paul Storr

Double Shell & Laurel is one of the fantastic flatware pattern produced by Paul Storr and this is a useful silver-gilt sauce ladle in the design.

It is smaller than the standard-sized sauce ladle, but larger than a cream ladle and would be ideal for mint sauce and similar. The ladle has very crisp double-struck decoration and is richly gilt all over (probably later). This George III period ladle remains in excellent condition with a nice weight in the hand and a good set of London hallmarks.
