Silver punch ladle with turned wood handle with ivory finial.

unknown

DATE or HALLMARK

Two marks. The number '13' and a unicorn's head. The '13' mark was an Imperial Austro-Hungarian standard mark used from the late 18th century through to the mid 19th century. The unicorn mark I have been unable to trace. Both marks too small to image well.

ASSAY OFFICE or COUNTRY

Imperial Austro-Hungary (probably).
