This antique Georgian style sterling silver sauce boat dates from the 1920 period, carrying clear Birmingham hallmarks for 1926 by Henry Williamson. The piece has a reflective silver finish, showing faint surface marks and minor signs of age and use across its polished metal surface. Notable details include a curved rim, an elongated flared spout, a scrolled flying handle at the rear, and three raised pad feet underneath. Measuring 8 cm high, 15 cm wide, and 8 cm deep, it weighs approximately 104g. Practical for contemporary home use, the sauce boat is suitable for serving gravies or sauces at the dining table, or as a decorative item displayed on a sideboard top. It comes ready for use following gentle cleaning and polishing.

FAQs

Introduced in the early eighteenth century, silver sauce boats were designed to serve warm sauces and gravies at formal dining tables, evolving from earlier double-handled designs into single-lipped vessels with cast feet.

These vessels were primarily crafted from solid sterling silver or silver plate over copper, often featuring cast feet and hand-chased decorative elements.

Authentic pieces typically feature official hallmark stamps indicating silver purity, makers marks, city marks, and date letters, alongside visible signs of period hand-craftsmanship.

It can serve as a decorative accent on a dining sideboard, a holder for small floral displays, or a functional serving piece during formal dinner occasions.

Clean gently with a specialised silver polish and a soft cotton cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, or automatic dishwashers to prevent scratching and preserve the patina.
