This Regency sauce tureen dates to circa 1820, formed from Old Sheffield Plate with silver and copper elements in a silver colour. The rectangular piece stands on four ball feet and has twin loop handles with scroll detailing, alongside a lid topped by a stylised fish and dolphin finial. Decorative gadrooned borders frame the edges of the lid and base, and an engraved heraldic crest showing a Pegasus above a crown is positioned on the upper surface of the lid. The surface shows good plating overall with some stubborn black spots, a clean interior, and a small repair to one ball foot. Measuring 14 cm high, 21 cm wide, and 14 cm deep, this lidded dish suits placement on a dining room sideboard or a serving table. It functions practically for serving sauces, gravies, or accompaniments during formal meals, while adding a decorative display element to a traditional table setting or sideboard top in a home today.

Old Sheffield Plate is a process invented in the 18th century where a layer of sterling silver is fused onto a copper ingot before being rolled into sheets and worked into hollowware such as tureens and serving dishes.

Regency era sauce tureens were typically constructed using fused silver over copper, sterling silver, or electroplated base metals, often accented with cast wire mounts and embossed borders.

Authentic pieces frequently display copper bleeding along high-wear edges, hand-engraved armorial crests with inserted silver shields, and an absence of modern electroplating marks.

An antique silver tureen can serve as a central decorative accent on a dining table, a focal point atop a sideboard, or as part of a curated antique glass and silverware display.

Clean gently with a soft cotton cloth and mild silver polish formulated specifically for plated items, avoiding aggressive rubbing that can wear down the fused silver layer.
