A charming piece of American sterling silver flatware, this antique/vintage gravy or sauce ladle was made by Manchester Silver Co. and features an ornate floral design extending across the handle. The sculpted flower-and-scroll decoration is especially attractive at the terminal, while the fluted, flower-shaped bowl gives the ladle an elegant botanical character.
The reverse is clearly stamped STERLING alongside Manchester’s distinctive “M” shield maker’s mark, confirming its sterling silver construction.

It has not been aggressively polished, allowing much of its vintage character to remain. Please review all photographs for the best representation of condition.
