I am a new Whiting Lily collector. I have several ladles. Does anyone know how many ladles were in the original service? IP: Logged |

Harry Rinker's Top 250 Silverware Patterns of the 20th Century (of which Whiting's Lily of 1902 is included) and Warman's Sterling Flatware guide provides no listing for any ladles. replacementsltd.com has the following ladles listed for the estate flatware: cream, two sizes of gravy (w or w/o gold wash), no spout gravy, punch (both solid and stainless bowl), soup (both solid and stainless bowl), bouillion and oyster. Check it out. IP: Logged |

Hi there lmurphy, I am pretty sure there are about 12 to 15 different ladles in the Lily pattern. Also check out the list that Antique Cupboard has. Marc IP: Logged |

At the Antique Cupboard, I found just two Whiting Lily gravy ladles - one with goldwash. IP: Logged |

If you want to get technical, there are ladles for salt, mustard, mayonaise, bouillion, toddy and umpty soup types. Not to mention punch. It is fairly easy to come up with a list of possible ladle types, but applying it to a particular pattern can be tricky. We really don't know what was made in any given pattern. We have fairly good ideas, which we can check against existing pieces. But then things pop up that we didn't know about. Which is what makes silver collecting so interesting. Could you tell us which ladles you have? Then people could begin to add to the list. Are the pierced ones considered to be ladles or are they classed as sifters? IP: Logged |

I forgot the cream ladle. And when gilded, this is frequently called the mayonaise. Plus, there is sometimes a horseradish ladle. And one for olives, though this is really scarce. IP: Logged |

According to my copy of original literature on the Whiting Lily pattern, 1902, there were the following ladles produced... mustard ladle (or spoon)-smooth bowl I do agree with the prior post that there were probably other styles of ladles produced, including different sizes of the above listed ladles so the more information we can gather, all for the better!
