Large Sterling Silver Ladle by Elizabeth Tuite London 1770-1 - $250 - (Rothesay, NB)
A large 18th Century ladle made by a women Silversmith Eliz. Tuite , London 1770-1... It measures 13-1/4" long and weighs 145 grams...In excellent condition with no repairs or defects One of the outstanding examples of the distinct effort to have a woman's mark as near as possible to that of the man of her family whom she was succeeding is the touch of Elizabeth Tuite, whose mark was entered in 1741. Twenty years earlier there had been John Tuite. His mark consisted of the initials of his given and surname within an oval with the outline of a footed cream pitcher between the letters. In 1739 he had a second mark of shield shape registered. This also incorporated the distinctive cream pitcher. So it is not surprising that when Elizabeth secured her mark the device of the cream pitcher was retained although she used the initials ET.
