Georgian & Victorian Silver Ladles

Good quality Georgian silver can be found at antique fairs, from specialist dealers and on-line. This example is currently for sale on ebay:


This George III .925 silver King's pattern ladle was made in 1814 and weighs 80 gms..

Its maker was Thomas Bamford II. It is a stunning Georgian ladle that would grace any dinner table.
 It is 7" or 18 cm long. The hallmarks include the lion standard mark, the maker's mark (T.B), the George III duty mark and the date mark "T" for 1814.

I tend to find antique fairs and some specialist dealers are too expensive when compared to ebay and other on-line sites. Do other collectors agree?
