Purchasing information-
The sauce boat appears in a tarnished state and would benefit from a clean and polish. There is some general wear, surface scratches, nicks and marks. General dints and bumps throughout. Floods of solder visible around the join of the top of the handle to the rim so likely repairs in this area. Both maker's marks are rubbed and partly distorted.
