English in origin, this George III gravy ladle measures 7" long and weighs 1.7 T. oz.
It is fully hallmarked for London, 1793-94, sterling silver, and well-known makers George Smith and William Fearn (GS/WF).
It has a downturned, reverse tipt, Old English, handle with a thumb drop on the hemispherical, 2" diameter by 3/4" deep, bowl.
The handle front is inscribed with a leaf script "R" monogram.
In very good condition, it shows minimal wear. The monogram is slightly softened from polishing and the bowl shows a scuffed area on the backside heel, but is otherwise without bends or dents. The finish is soft and even.
