A relatively large item, this gravy ladle measures 7" long, has a 2 1/2" by 2" by 3/4" deep, oval bowl, and weighs just under 2.3 T. oz.
Fashioned in an Arts & Crafts manner, it was produced by Arthur Stone whose "Stone and hammer - Sterling" symbol, along with a benchman's "B" for Charles W. Brown, or possibly George Blanchard, appears on the handle reverse.
The angular "Coffin End" handle was one of Stone's early designs, first issued in 1910.
A plain piece, i.e. never monogrammed or chased, the bowl interior and handle backside are smooth, while the underside of the bowl shows hammering marks, as does the handle front, save very subtly so.
This is in choice estate condition. This is no visible wear, nor dents, bends, or scuffs, and the finish is lustrous.
