Rare Bow Porcelain Fluted Sauce Boat Mandarin Chinese Figures Pattern c.1765

Condition is excellent: one small nick to the side of the spout and light fridging to the glaze on the lip and to the tops of some of the scallops along the rim and some associated discolouration to the porcelain in these spots. Some further light discolouration to the spout, and also to the foot rim, which have been carefully examined and there is no repair or restoration to the piece. There is a fine firing hairline around the lower handle terminal and only minor handling wear to the enamels.
