"Until 1823, when an Act of Parliament was passed legalising whisky distilling in Scotland, all whisky was produced illegally in small stills in the Highlands and smuggled for drinking all over the rest of Scotland. It was a way of earning money from surplus barley. Before a glass was used to drink from individually, a toddy ladle was used to take whisky from a toddy bowl. Many different sizes and designs of toddy ladle exist, made from metal, wood, horn, ivory and bone. This ladle is small and the bowl is made from turned wood, with a decoration of concentric circles. The long handle is a piece of horn inserted into the bowl and twisted to give a grip at the end. It dates from between 1750 and 1850."
