Cambridge Glass Company made this lion in the 1920's. There are no chips or cracks in the glass. Thanks for looking.

This is a beautiful ladle measuring 12 3/4" in length. The bowl is in the shape of a large shell, and there is a lion engraved on the handle. There are four marks on the back of the handle which I tried to photograph. The first long one I can't make out, the second is the head of a lion with a crown on his head, the third is a full lion, and the last has initials which I believe to be HB. I believe the ladle to be Georgian.

Size: 19.5 cm high. Condition: excellent.
