Scottish Provincial Greenock Toddy Ladle by Thomas Davie, 1825

This elegant Scottish provincial toddy ladle, crafted in Greenock in 1825, is a fine example of the silversmithing skills of Thomas Davie. Created during the reign of George IV (1820–1829), this ladle exhibits the craftsmanship typical of the period. Weighing 34g, it features the engraved initials “JH” on the handle, adding a personal touch that connects this piece to its original owner.

Despite its age, the ladle is in good condition, with only a small ding to the bowl. The hallmarks, though lightly rubbed, remain clear, confirming its authenticity and origin. A beautiful piece for any collector of Provincial Scottish silver from the rare Assay Office of Greenock, this toddy ladle is both a practical and  fascinating piece of history.
