Bearing the short-lived incuse king’s-head mark of 1785-6, this rare pair of sterling silver sauce ladles were created by Thomas Northcote of London. The elegantly simple handles are enhanced by feathery bright-cut engraving, and there is a chapleted bull’s head armorial crest engraved on the back of each. The bowls are in the form of strongly fluted shells. Fine, undamaged condition. Each approximately 7-1/2 inches in length with 2-1/4 inches in diameter for the bowls.

Silver-mounted cowry shells were coveted as snuff boxes two hundred years ago and are rarely hallmarked. However, this handsome example bears the “AER” mark of Georgian Dublin’s Aeneas Ryan. In good, heavy weight, it sports a finely sculpted astragal border and elaborate monogram above the fine integral hinge. The condition is very good, with one small metal fill at the base of the shell. Approximately 3-1/8 inches by 2-3/8 inches by 1-1/4 inches deep.
