These large silver sauceboats are an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional presentation condition.

There are some minor natural fire marks, as to be expected in keeping with age.

Full hallmarks struck to the body of each are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the exceptional gauge of silver.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these examples of antique silverware.
