Sauceboat 1750 - 1760

This silver Sauceboat, crafted by Joseph Richardson Sr. between 1750-1760, exemplifies the Rococo style with its delicate curves and intricate details. The piece is supported by three graceful legs and features a flowing handle, adorned with a crest. The sauceboat's elegant design, characteristic of the era, is enhanced by the engraved monogram, adding a personal touch. A testament to the craftsmanship of the 18th century, this Sauceboat is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City. The silver, the elegant curves, and the craftsmanship are some of the most striking features of this piece.
