For offer, a small collection of four vintage silver plated gravy or sauce boats, consisting of:
1. A 'walker & Hall' example, of typical form with scalloped rim and scroll handle, mounted on three legs, dating to 1926, easily dated as the trade mark to the underside of the base has the type 'C' flag, used after 1910, together with the date letter of a lowercase Latin "h", used c.1920 - 1930.
Condition is very good, with no loss of plating, some light signs of age and usage, the legs would benefit from some slight adjustment.
Length incl' handle: 7" (17.2cm)
2. A 'Viners of Sheffield' piece, again of typical form with floral decoration around the rim and auricular handle, mounted on three legs, and dating to circa mid 20th century.
The condition is superb, being free from loss of plate or dings.
Length incl' handle: 6 1/2" (16.2cm)
3. A 'Barker Ellis' made one, of usual form with gadrooned rim and auricular shape handle, mounted on three legs with Acanthus leaf decoration, dating to circa 1930s.
Again, superb condition, with no loss of plating or dings.
Length incl' handle: 6" (15cm)
4. A 'Dixon' one, of unusual form with a lipped scallop rim and flat base, the handle is designed to look like a 'Lily', with a registered design number of "50731" to the lower stem of the handle, which dates the design to 1886, the Dixon Trumpet & Banner logo was used from 1879 onwards, so I would date this boat to the late Victorian period.
The condition is also superb, with no plating loss or dings, and only light usage signs to the underside of the base.
Length inc' handle: 4 1/2" (11cm)
