The antique silver pap boat was originally used as a shallow feeding dish for a child or invalid. These appeared circa 1710 and fell out of manufacture about 120 years later. With their smooth elegant shape, they make ideal servers for sauce.
This little dish is in very good condition with a good colour. Stamped with a full set of English silver hallmarks. The makers mark is not fully stamped.
