Condition Report
The sauce boat displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Some heavier scratches and marks are visible, also a few small surface dints. There is slight loss of definition to the engraved and punched decoration, especially around the shell mounts to the feet. There is a possible repair around one of these joins as the decoration has disappeared and solder is visible. Hallmarks are a little rubbed and distorted but still legible.
