Description: An interesting antique Ecclesiastical silver straining ladle, made in 1819 in Lemberg, then part of the Austro-Hungarian empire, but now known as Lviv, the largest city in Western Ukraine. The ladle has a round bowl, pierced with straining (or sifting) holes, arranged in the shape of a 6 petalled flower, the holes have different sizes, but all quite small - so we think it is more likely for straining than sifting. The plain handle is at 45 degrees from the bowl, the ladle overall is a good weight and very pleasing quality. The ladle has 3 clearly struck hallmarks on the back of the end of the handle. The first is the Austro-Hungarian standard mark used between 1807 and 1866, with 13 in circle for 13 loth (812 fineness), date 1819 around circle, and town mark D above the circle, with D identifying Lemberg / Lwow. The second mark TF co-joined in oval punch under D is the tax free mark (taxfreistempel) used from 1810 to denote "ecclesiastical silver not subject to delivery to the authority", so we assume the ladle was made for a church or synagogue. The D mark also indicates Lemberg. The third mark is makers mark AS in shaped shield punch, we have not been able to identify this maker, all assistance welcome.
