Silver Ladle by George Aiken

by George Aiken (1787-1823)

Baltimore, Maryland

Coin Silver

Early 19th Century

13 1/4″ L

 

The beginnings of George Aiken’s career as Baltimore silversmith can be dated as early as 1787 when he advertised his establishment on Calvert Street as a goldsmith and jeweler. Although born in Philadelphia, his entire working life seems to have been spent in Baltimore where he was active until at least 1823.  Pleasant and Sill judged Aiken’s work “excellent both in design and workmanship.”

 

This ladle was found in a Kentucky estate. It has a H R monogram
