A polished silver sauce boat features a flared, circular base. A wide, curved spout extends at our right, while a high handle at our left loops upward in a large, flat band. From our viewpoint, raised designs of blooming flowers and long, blade-like leaves wrap across the vessel's body. The metal displays a distinct hammered texture, with small, uniform indentations catching the light across the boat and base.
