Estimate £500-700

There is the tiniest curling of one tiny section of the rim on one sauce boat and three appears to be a small flaw to the surface of the silver on the inside of one of the boats near the foot. Overall condition is otherwise good.

MARKS: The marks struck on the base of the sauce boats comprise the 'Lion Passant' mark for sterling silver; 'Crowned Leopards Head' mark of the London Assay Office; Makers Initials (rubbed but probably 'JS' for Joseph Sanders); Date Letter 'T' for 1734.
Overall quite rubbed.
