We come across these small coffin-end ladles -- mustards, gravy, sauce -- from time to time and they all seem to be made in New England, particularly in the City of Providence. It is for that reason (and the lack of any other candidate) that we attribute this neat piece to William Burr (see pix of WB mark). This ladle has a cut-cornered fiddle end and is 5-1/4" long. The mono is C L in feathered script. Condition is excellent throughout.

Mark is incompletely struck, but it is readable, and clearly the same as that shown in book on Old Deerfield silver, p. 226. Trace of tipwear, but otherwise in excellent condition.

This is a rare variation on the coffin-end style, and it appears to be limited to Utica silversmiths. Instead of the handle end being clipped, it was given notched corners. This piece is in excellent condition, has a feathered script mono E G on its front, and is 9" in length.
