George VI Silver Sauce Boat by Robert Pringle & Sons, London 1946 – Lot 300

Estimate: £120–£180

A handsome and well-proportioned small silver sauce boat, hallmarked for Robert Pringle & Sons, London 1946, dating it firmly to the later years of George VI’s reign. Robert Pringle & Sons were a respected London silversmiths with a long heritage in producing quality domestic silverware.

The sauce boat is raised on three feet in the traditional manner and measures 15cm in length, with a solid gross weight of 126 grams — indicative of the quality of silver used in post-war British hallmarked pieces. It presents a classic and versatile form that would sit comfortably on a formal dining table or within a cabinet display of period silver.

This is a practical and beautifully made piece of mid-20th century British silverware, with both display and functional appeal. An excellent opportunity for collectors of George VI-era silver or British domestic silverware.
