"An elegant sterling silver soup ladle in Whiting\u2019s 1890 \u201COld King\u201D pattern.  The shell and acanthus leaf design elements of the handle appeared in many flatware variations since the Georgian era, and has become an established classic for its restrained elegance.  The bowl is parcel gilt for nice contrast.  The back of the ladle is stamped with the retailer\u2019s mark for Theodore B. Starr.  Starr had agreements with several major silversmiths who provided the store with fine silver to which they applied the retailer\u2019s mark rather than the manufacturer\u2019s.&lt;p&gt;Origin: America, ca. 1895.  Condition: excellent, sharp detail, light fading to the original gilding, no monogram.   Size: 13-/4\u201D long.  Weight: 218.0 grams."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
