Artisan Antiques has dated this piece to the Georgian era.
The sauce boat features a wonderful nautilus inspired design with the body of the sauce boat being raised on a pedestal foot.
The body features a high polished finish with a mirror-like reflection with some fine fluted lines that curve across the sides.
The front side presents the martial arms of a Scottish Baronet, Sir Alexander Purves of that Ilk - the 5th Baronet of Purves Hall.
The handle features an acanthus leaf thumbpiece and the widened foot of the base features a gadrooned design surrounding the edge.
The sauce boat remains in great condition making it ideal for both display and usage with sauces/condiments of your preference.
The hallmarks are present close to the lip of the boat - the maker's mark is indistinct and worn.
