Sauceboat 1759 - 1760

This silver sauceboat, crafted by Alexander Johnston in 1759-1760, is a fine example of Rococo-influenced design. The piece features a delicate, undulating form with an elegant handle and three ornate, scrolled feet. The overall effect is one of refined grace and sophistication, typical of the decorative arts of the mid-18th century. Currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this Sauceboat is a testament to Johnston's skill as a silversmith and the enduring appeal of Rococo aesthetics.
