Sauceboat c. 1765

This Sauceboat, made by the Worcester Royal Porcelain Company around 1765, is a fine example of English porcelain from the 18th century. The delicate, hand-painted floral motifs and the elegant, pale yellow ground are typical of the period. The piece is a testament to the skill of the Worcester artisans and demonstrates the burgeoning popularity of porcelain in England. This Sauceboat, currently held at the Art Institute of Chicago, offers a glimpse into the refined taste and artistry of the time.
