John Pinches Silver Ladle

Solid silver ladles - like the one shown below - rarely come onto the market. A simple Google search shows how uncommon they are. This example (from ebay) is really charming as it has a twist stem and rat tail pattern.

This great example (est. £65 - £85) was made in Scotland and assayed in Edinburgh.

John Picnhes spoons are easier to collect, although those decorated with agates and hard stones are a rarity and much more collectible. This fantastic set is currently being sold on ebay:
