Dating from 1872, Gorham's Corinthian embodies the Classical Revival and Moorish sensibilities of its period. The handle incorporates a raised anthemion leaf surmounted by leafy tracery.
This example is a 6", approximately 1.1 T. oz., solid silver, cream ladle.
The 1 1/2" diameter, 7/8" deep, flat bottomed, tapered wall bowl is "bucket" form, which was a style popular in the mid 19th century. The interior is finished in a bright gold wash.
The reserve area on the handle front is engraved with a delicate, line script, monogram that appears to be "HIC."
In choice estate condition, this is free of polishing wear. The bowl is without dents or bends, but shows faint surface scratches consistent with normal use.
Marks are Gorham's "lion, anchor, G" emblem, "Sterling," and the name of Boston retailer "Crosby, Morse & Foss."
