DescriptionSmall sauceboat made of buff-colored earthenware with a blue-tinted glaze, a type of ceramic known as pearlware. The sauceboat has a pronounced spout, looped handle rising from the rim, a hand-painted cobalt blue shell-edge decoration just below the rim, and an oval foot. The handle was pulled and applied by hand, and it is decorated with two additional lines of blue. A four-inch-wide section of the side of the sauceboat, from rim to foot, broke off at some point in the past and was repaired. There is some brown discoloration at the location where the repairs took place.
