Stunning First Period Worcester Porcelain Triangular Platform Sauce Boat C.1755

18th century
For Sale by The Fancy Fox
Description

A very fine early Worcester porcelain pedestal sauce boat, with relief moulded decoration of scrolls and arabesque framed reserves. Painted with the Triangular Platform pattern. Inside the base is a large oriental floral spray with butterfly and similar detailed decoration runs inside the rim including a further butterfly and a small diaper patterned panel in front of the handle. Unmarked, c.1755.

Reference: Worcester Blue & White Porcelain 1751-1790, Branyan, French & Sandon, section I.B.19, noted as "uncommon".

It measures 19.5cm (7 5/8") long, 8.5cm (3 3/8") wide and 9.8cm (3 7/8") high.

Condition is excellent: there is a nick to the outside of the rim and a very fine short hairline adjacent to it which can barely be seen except under close inspection, see the final photos. No other damage, repair or restoration and very minor handling wear. The painting is lovely and crisp with no running.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

First Period Worcester refers to porcelain produced by the Worcester factory between its founding in 1751 and 1783, characterised by soft-paste bodies containing soapstone and intricate underglaze blue painted decoration influenced by Asian imports.

Eighteenth-century English sauce boats were typically crafted from soft-paste porcelain incorporating steatite to enhance thermal resistance, painted with cobalt oxide underglaze, and finished with a clear lead glaze.

Authentic pieces frequently display a greenish transmittance when held to a direct light source, precise moulded scrollwork, hand-painted chinoiserie motifs, and period factory marks such as the open crescent in cobalt blue.

An antique sauce boat can be displayed as a decorative vignette on a dining room sideboard, arranged inside a glazed display cabinet, or styled alongside modern neutral tableware for textural contrast.

Soft-paste porcelain should be washed by hand using lukewarm water and a mild non-abrasive soap, avoiding prolonged soaking, harsh chemical cleaners, or mechanical dishwashers.
