This wonderfully graphic pearlware pottery sauce boat was made by I. Hall in Staffordshire, England in the early 1800’s. It has a dark cobalt blue transfer decoration in the “Quadrupeds” pattern featuring a fantastic fox on both sides.
The replaced hollow pewter handle has been cleverly painted to match the decoration.
Sauce boat from the early 1800’s measures 3-7/8″ high, 7-1/2″ long.
Sauce boat is boldly stamped in cobalt on the bottom I HALL, QUADRUPEDS.
