The surface shows faint marks and minor signs of age and use. Faint hallmarks appear near the handle. The item measures 8 cm high, 14 cm wide, and 7 cm deep.

The polished sterling silver construction coordinates with traditional tableware collections and adds historic character to a dining room or kitchen.

FAQs

A silver sauce boat, also commonly referred to as a gravy boat, is a specialized vessel designed for serving sauces and gravies at the dining table, reaching widespread popularity during the eighteenth century.

Traditional silver sauce boats were crafted from sterling silver or silver plate, utilizing hand-hammered or raised bodies, cast handles, and soldered pad or hoof feet often decorated with shell motifs.

Authentic sterling silver pieces feature official assay hallmarks stamped into the metal, indicating the purity of the silver, the makers mark, the town assay office, and a date letter.

Beyond traditional dining use, an antique silver sauce boat can be styled on a sideboard as a decorative catch-all for small items or integrated into a bar cart arrangement to display barware tools.

Clean silver gently using a soft cloth and specialized silver polish, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads, and store in tarnish-resistant cloth covers away from excessive humidity.
