An Indo-Persian pattern, Gorham's Hindostanee was issued in 1878, as indicated by the "Pat. 78" along with Gorham's "lion, anchor, G" emblem and "Sterling" stamped on the backside of this 5 1/2" long, 1.1 T. oz. cream ladle.
The finely rendered design incorporates a series of repetitive scrolls and palmettes on a slightly upturned, rounded end, handle, and includes a shield reserve, which in this instance has never been monogrammed.
As a line, Hindostanee had an individualistic style of serving ends, which is reflected in this piece.
The 1 3/4" square, 3/4" deep, bowl has a fluted edge with a dimpled border below this, along with a bit of engraving in the heel, and is finished in a pale satin matte gold wash front and back sides.
In flawless estate condition, this presents as if new, absent any wear or damage whatsoever, and shows a bright finish.
