Pair of fine and original Old Sheffield Plate sauce tureens with shell, leaf and gadroon borders, each on four scroll feet with leaf pattern fronts. The lids have twisted reed handles with leaf and shell caps and inside are stamped cross-arrow makers marks, possibly attributable to T & J Creswick.
While some vessels have been identified as being used for sauces since ancient times, the modern fashion for sauce boats probably derived from fashion in the late 17th century French court, and the thermal properties of silver make it superior to porcelain or glass for keeping the sauce or gravy warm.
