A pair of Antique Victorian Silver Plate Sauce Boats. Initially, sauce boats were supported by a central foot. However, by the mid 1700’s silver sauce boats supported by three feet increased in popularity. It was around that time that English porcelain sauce boats were introduced to complement dinner services, and early factories that produced porcelain sauce boats such as Worcester and Chelsea flourished.
