Antique American Sterling Silver Punch Ladle
$675.00
Watson & Newell was founded by Clarence L. Watson and Fred A. Newell who first worked together at Cobb, Gould & Co. (1874 – 1880). They expanded the company to Watson, Newell & Co. 1886 – 1895, incorporating in 1895 to the Watson, Newell Co. The company was renamed in approximately 1910 to the Watson Co. With various showrooms in Chicago, Massachusetts, New York and San Francisco, Watson became a major manufacturer of sterling silver flatware and holloware.
In the early eighteenth century, fashionable people drank punch communally straight out of the bowl. By mid-century this practice had begun to wane, and thus silver punch ladles were used to transfer punch from the bowl into individual glasses.
A striking Antique American Sterling Silver Punch Ladle. Having a shell design at the end of the slender curved handle makes this piece quite attractive in design. The hallmarks, located on the back of the handle, are quite clear and this antique American silver punch ladle is in pristine condition.
