Description

A rare pair of antique sterling silver sauceboats having a plain circular shape on an oval pedestal foot. Single lip. Extremely large and heavy weight. This is a very early date for a silver sauceboat, the first were introduced into England in circa 1715 and had a double lip, the single lipped boats started to appear circa 1730. An unusual feature is the model lion head at the top of the handle. Each jug has a hand engraved crest of a ship to one side, a lion crest to the other side. Good colour. Each contains 450 ml. Weight of pair 1070 grams, 34.4 troy ounces. Height 14 cms (to top of handle). Bowl width 12 cms. Spread 19.5 cms. London 1732. Maker Edward Feline.

These useful silver sauce jugs are in very good condition with no damage or restoration. Each has a clear and full matching set of English silver hallmarks. The ship crests are still crisp, the lion crests have some wear. Please note that this item is not new and will show moderate signs of wear commensurate with age. Reflections in the photograph may detract from the true representation of this item.
