Bronze Age Gold from Wales

Sauceboat, sterling silver, standing on a spreading oval foot, the raised oval body with scalloped rim with applied scrolled moulding, two applied cast pouring spouts and two applied double-scroll handles, engraved armorials on the sides, probably of Bullen impaling Aston of Co Devon.

Anne Tanqueray belonged to one of the great Huguenot silversmithing families active in London in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The double-lipped form of this sauceboat is the earliest used in Britain. A small silver ladle was probably used to serve sauce from the boat.
