Rare Early Georgian Toddy Ladle c1740, Silver Coin Bowl & Stunning Baleen Handle
Posted by admin On February 24, 2026
About the Baleen Handle: Baleen – historically known as whalebone – is not bone, but a natural keratin material taken from the mouths of Baleen whales. In the 18th century it was prized for its exceptional strength, flexibility and resistance to heat, making it ideal for hot-liquid serving implements such as toddy ladles. Its use firmly dates this piece to the Georgian period, as baleen largely disappeared from domestic production by the early 19th century. Surviving original baleen-handled examples are now increasingly scarce and highly sought after by collectors. This example qualifies fully under antique exemptions and is legal to sell as a pre-1947 historic object. Construction & Features The hand-raised white metal bowl is inset with a genuine George II silver halfcrown, a desirable decorative feature reflecting the period fashion for coin-set domestic wares. The bowl is finished with a fine applied beaded rim, giving visual weight and refinement. The long twisted baleen handle is fitted with a correct tubular silver metal ferrule, confirming original period construction rather than later replacement. At approximately 38.5cm in length, this is an impressively sized ladle with strong visual presence, ideal for display. Together these elements create a striking example of Georgian tavernware craftsmanship and early British drinking culture. Condition & Authenticity This is an original 18th century working object and retains honest signs of historic use. Period splits to either side of the pouring spout. Rim separation consistent with long-term hot liquid service (see photographs). Surface patina and tool marks consistent with hand manufacture These are typical survivorship features found on genuine toddy ladles and reflect the stresses of repeated hot punch use over nearly three centuries. Importantly:? No modern solder repairs? No reshaping? No artificial restoration? Original form retained The ladle is therefore offered as a collector and display piece, not for liquid service. Historical Context Toddy ladles were used to serve hot punch mixtures in Georgian Britain, a central feature of domestic entertaining and tavern culture. Examples with baleen handles and silver coin inserts were considered prestige household items and were often retained as heirlooms. Today they are collected for their craftsmanship, scarcity and strong connection to 18th century social history. 38.5cm. Offered as decorative collector’s piece.

Antique Rare c1816 Sunderland Lustre Jug Early Scott Version Union Jack Sailor
Posted by admin On February 21, 2026
Antique Rare c1816 Sunderland Pink Lustre Jug Early Scott Version Union Jack Peg Leg Sailors Toasting. A rare and highly evocative Sunderland pink lustre jug dating to circa 1816, produced during the earliest and most desirable period of North East English commemorative ceramics. Crafted in creamware and richly decorated with hand-applied pink lustre, this jug belongs to a particularly small and sought-after group of early “Scott Version” wares, created in the years immediately following the Napoleonic Wars when patriotic sentiment and romantic maritime literature were at their height. One side is printed with a mariner’s verse known to collectors as the Scott Version, a poetic variant influenced by the literary style popularised by Sir Walter Scott and his contemporaries. The wording differs from the more commonly encountered Sunderland verses of later decades, adopting a ballad-like cadence that reflects themes of faith, fate, and divine protection at sea. Framed within a delicate floral border, the verse remains clear and legible, functioning both as decoration and as a devotional prayer intended to safeguard sailors on their voyages. The opposing side features a lively and unusually detailed sailor scene that is rarely encountered at this early date. A group of sailors are shown toasting, smoking pipes, and celebrating around a drum in a moment of camaraderie and relief. One figure is depicted with a peg leg, an especially atmospheric and poignant detail that adds narrative depth and realism, hinting at the personal cost of naval service. Most striking of all, the merry trio of’jack-tars’ are shown posing proudly against a raised Union Jack, a rarely portrayed motif. This celebratory image strongly situates the jug in the immediate post-war period, evoking relief, victory, and national pride following Britain’s naval successes. The imagery resonates closely with the spirit of contemporary patriotic verse, including Thomas Campbell’s celebrated 1801 poem “Ye Mariners of England, ” which glorified the endurance of the British flag and navy. The combination of verse, imagery, and lustre decoration places this jug firmly within the earliest lineage of this transfer tradition, predating the later Crimean War revival of similar motifs and making it significantly rarer than most surviving examples. The jug is further enhanced by its high-quality pink “splash” lustre, applied in a soft, cloud-like marbling rather than the heavier blotching seen on later or lesser wares. The lustre wraps the rim, handle, and spout with a vivid metallic iridescence, indicating a refined and carefully executed production. The form itself is robust and well balanced, with a shaped pouring spout and a gracefully curved handle, and it displays subtle glaze patina and hand-finished character consistent with genuine early 19th-century manufacture. The lustre retains excellent depth of colour and sheen, with only minor surface wear consistent with age. The transfer prints remain crisp and well defined, a notable survival for a jug of this period. Sunderland lustre jugs that combine an early Scott-inspired verse with a celebratory maritime scene, a peg-leg sailor, and the rare inclusion of the Union Jack are exceptionally scarce. Originally intended as functional household wares and sentimental keepsakes, they are now prized as works of folk art and as tangible records of Britain’s maritime, literary, and social history. This jug displays beautifully as a standalone decorative object and represents a particularly strong and characterful example of early Sunderland lustreware at its finest.
