Product Description
These exceptional and rare antique George II sterling silver
gravy boats have a plain oval rounded provincial form onto a pedestal and spreading foot.
The surface of each piece is plain and unembellished, featuring a subtly convex upper portion and shaped rim.
The
gravy boats are fitted with opposing scroll handles with a plain scrolling thumbpiece.
The underside of each provincial gravy boat has the original crude finish; this was typical of Georgian silverware crafted for regular use.
These exceptional antique silver sauce boats were made by the renowned Newcastle silversmith Isaac Cookson; this silversmith crafted items with quality and gauge excepted of a London silversmith.
Early pairs of
gravy boats crafted by Isaac Cookson are rare and increasingly difficult to locate.
Condition
These antique
Gravy boats are an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.
Full hallmarks struck to the underside of each gravy boat are all very clear.
Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these pieces of Georgian silverware.
