About the Item
Pair of Sauceboats, circa 1752-1755:
Of flat hexagonal form with waved top and scroll handle, painted after the Chinese in blue with the ‘desirable residence pattern’ of a building amidst rocks and trees; the interiors with hatched borders.
During the 18th century, dining was an important social event, and the presentation of food was a significant part of the experience. Sauce boats were often displayed on the table alongside other items of tableware, such as tureens and platters, as part of an elaborate table setting. The double-handled design of the sauce boat, which made it easier for the person serving to pass the sauce around the table, was supplanted around the time these were made, when a change in ettiquette meant that items were presented to diners by the servants, rather than passed from hand to hand. They were the height of fashion at the time.
Grey-straw translucency. Blued glaze. H.2.5 in (6.4 cm); L.4.8 in (12.1 cm).
