A charming little sauce boat from the Eighteenth century c1770. I am not sure as to the origins of this lovely sauce boat, it could be either Liverpool or Lowestoft?

The body of the sauce boat is smooth, with a feather moulded rim and raised foot. The bowl has a wide main body and an elegantly formed pouring lip.

 

The sauce boat is hand painted in a  dark blue/grey hue and has a simple floral sprig on each side, a round  flower with petals and foliage up the front of the sauce boat the jug.

 

The free hand-painted decoration is of a charming simple form.

 

There is a complex handle form to the sauce boat, having a scroll round to a reverse lower scroll. There is a raised moulded leaf form thumb piece to the top of the handle.

 

The back edge of the handle is decorated with a blue foliate sprig, as is the pouring lip.

 

The inner rim of the sauce boat is embellished with a wavy blue line and a simple blue foliate sprig is painted on the inner base of the boat.

 

The flat base of the sauce boat is unglazed, remaining in the biscuit form.
