In 1897, Ramsden won First Prize in the open competition for the design of a mace for the Sheffield City Council and turned to Carr for help with its execution leading to their formal partnership in 1898.\r\n\r\nBusiness flourished and the workshop, now enlarged to include specialist chasers, engravers and enamellers as well as general silversmiths in new premises and showroom in Fulham.  The character of the wide range of silver produced, domestic, ceremonial and religious, is linked by its apparent hand made appearance and an English decorative quality of historic reference to medievalism as well as occasionally, a subtle awareness of the sinuous lines of contemporary Art Nouveau.  The partnership was dissolved in 1918, after which, Ramsden and Carr ran independent studios until their respective deaths. \r\n","physicalDescription":"Oblong bowl with rounded ends, the edge of which is cut away in a slight curve.  The stem rises steeply from a rat-tail on the bowl to which it is soldered.  It is of tapering oblong section, has a swelling central section chased into twisted mouldings and a flat slightly spreading end.  The whole surface is planished in the manner of the sauceboats (M.286&a-1975) with which these ladles are ensuite.","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Omar Ramsden and Alwyn Carr","id":"AUTH334336"},"association":{"text":"designer and maker","id":"x34662"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"silver","id":"AAT11029"}],"techniques":[{"text":"forging","id":"AAT54033"},{"text":"planishing","id":"AAT53145"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Silver, hammered and planished.","categories":[{"text":"Eating","id":"THES48963"},{"text":"Metalwork","id":"THES48920"},{"text":"Tableware & cutlery","id":"THES48888"}],"styles":[{"text":"Arts and Crafts (movement)","id":"AAT21205"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"MET","id":"THES48599"},"images":["2019MK1777"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"004","id":"THES335751"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"004","id":"THES335751"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Ladle","id":""}],[{"text":"Ladle","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"designed and made","id":"x39722"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1909-1910","earliest":"1909-05-29","latest":"1910-05-28"},"association":{"text":"designed and made","id":"x39722"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[{"object":{"text":"M.286-1975","id":"O324071"},"association":""},{"object":{"text":"M.286-1975","id":"M.286A-1975"},"association":"Set"}],"creditLine":"Given by Miss M.
