Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Sauce boats, often termed gravy boats, emerged during the early eighteenth century in Europe as specialised vessels for serving hot sauces and gravies. By the Georgian period, they became standard components of formal dining services, designed with spouts and handles to facilitate precise pouring.

Traditional sauce boats were typically crafted from solid sterling silver or silver plate using hand-hammering and casting methods. Key components such as handles and scroll feet were cast separately and soldered onto the raised silver body.

Authenticity is evaluated through hallmarks stamped into the metal, which indicate the silver purity, maker, location, and date of manufacture. Additional markers include visible solder seams along join points and period-accurate hand-carved or cast decorative motifs.

These silver vessels can be displayed on a dining room sideboard or dresser as decorative metalware when not in use. They can also serve as creative accent pieces on open shelving or held within display cabinets alongside historic glassware.

Silver should be cleaned regularly using a non-abrasive silver polish and a soft microfibre cloth to remove oxidisation and tarnish. Washing after use in warm soapy water, followed by immediate drying, prevents water spots and surface corrosion.
