American Towle Old Colonial Cream Ladle

M2049. American Towle Old Colonial pattern monogrammed vermeil sterling silver cream ladle. First issued in 1895, Towle's Old Colonial pattern reflects a Neoclassical influence from Colonial America, presented with a flanged fluted bowl, recalling architectural columnar shafts, dipping from a handle molded with two elongated beaded “C” scrolls enclosing a slender waisted lower shaft, and the upper shaft rounding between two small beaded “C” scrolls underlying an ogee-molded end punctuated with two beaded serpentine-scrolls flanking a paneled urn having a dramatic flame finial cut-out between the scrolls to suggest a “broken pediment” recalling the Early American case furniture. $55.00
