FAQs

During the George III period in Ireland, sauce boats evolved into prominent dining table vessels, often constructed with heavy-gauge sterling silver, cast shell or pad feet, and sweeping scroll handles.

Silversmiths formed the main body by hand-hammering sterling silver sheet into shape, while the feet and handles were separately cast in moulds and soldered to the vessel.

Authentic Irish silver from this era features specific Dublin hallmarks, including the Hibernia mark, the crowned harp, a makers mark, and a date letter, alongside subtle hand-hammering impressions and natural oxidisation.

An antique silver sauce boat functions as an accent piece on a sideboard or dining table, and can also be repurposed as a decorative container for small floral displays.

Clean gently using a soft cloth and a specialised, non-abrasive silver polish to clear tarnish while preserving the original surface patina. Avoid dishwasher exposure and harsh chemical dips.
