Solid Silver Sauce Boat - Chester 1907

This antique Edwardian sterling silver sauce boat features a classic George III style design with an elegant wavy, scalloped rim and a generous pouring spout. It is elevated on three stylized hoof feet attached with shell-motif joints, balancing the rounded belly of the vessel. A flying scroll handle rises smoothly from the back, finished with an integrated leaf-wrapped thumb piece for a comfortable grip. The underside boasts a remarkably clear, crisp set of British hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling silver, the three-wheat-sheaves shield for the Chester Assay Office, and the cursive letter g date stamp denoting the year 1907. Positioned just above this is the distinct shield-shaped maker's mark for the renowned silversmiths John & William Deakin, making this an authentic, well-preserved piece of early 20th-century tableware.
