Sauceboat 1760 - 1770

Richard Morton's "Sauceboat" is a delicate example of 18th-century English silver craftsmanship. Crafted between 1760 and 1770, the piece features an elegant, curved form, supported by three shell-shaped feet. The graceful, leaf-shaped handle adds to the overall sense of sophistication. This silver sauceboat, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, embodies the refined aesthetic of the Rococo period, a style characterized by intricate ornamentation and graceful curves.
