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.
This beautiful piece is 14½ inches across and almost 2½ inches deep at edge. It weighs just over 4½ pounds. It was formerly in the collection of the founder of the Chicago Tribune. I’m not sure when our family acquired it. We no longer have the teak stand. I tried to show all imperfections in last pictures. It has one slight crack but it’s still solid.

Wall first period of Royal Worcester porcelain bowl / soup plate decorated in underglaze blue decoration in the Royal Lily pattern with a scalloped and pointed rim. Manufactured in England during the late 18th century, circa 1770. In 1788, King George III and Queen Charlotte visited the factory where they ordered a breakfast service in the design, which was known as Blue Lily until then. Wall period Royal Lily pattern pieces are relatively rare, but those without gilt and the red accents more so.. I wonder whether the examples without the gilt and red trim represent the earliest iterations of the pattern? In excellent condition with no chips or cracks. A true collectors piece. Diameter: 24.5 cm – Height: 4.5 cm. Please enlarge all images and inspect thoroughly, if you have any questions or require more photographs please do not hesitate to ask.
