Product Description

Sterling silver toddy ladle with twisted whale bone handle dated 1793.

Measure approximately 39cm long.

Toddy ladles are, as the name implies, ladles. In fact, toddy ladles are ladles for toddy – a heated alcoholic drink, famous in Scotland in the late 18th century, made of:

• Ale
• Whiskey
• Eggs
• Sugar
• Spices
Because these cocktails were not consumed in high amounts, toddy ladles have slightly smaller spoons, but much longer handles.
Antique toddy ladles are especially interesting. The spoon itself is silver, making it a wonderful collector’s piece for people that enjoy silver antiques. But the handle is even more interesting, as it was crafted out of whale bone.
