Condition Report
All three sauce boats display general wear, some tarnishing and general surface marks, scratches and nicks. On Edwardian sauce boat, hallmarks are very clear but maker's mark is partly distorted. The 1929 example has several surface dints and one quite large one, also the top of one of the feet has been pushed in so that an impression is visible to the interior. Also some splits visible around the rim. Hallmarks are legible. On the Chester sauce boat, the handle has completely broken off. Hallmarks are clear and legible.
