About this work

These double-lipped sauce boats were specifically designed for pouring sauce or gravy. They feature two handles positioned at right angles to the bowl. This model was first created in France and was later adopted by Dutch silversmiths. The family coats of arms of Nicolaas Hans Willem van Delen tot Schonenburg and Margaretha van Wijhe van Echteld are engraved on the sides.
