Engraved on each side with a crest, stamped under base "B.Gardiner" and "New York".
Around 1830 Baldwin Gardiner moved from Philadelphia to New York City, where he established a furnishings warehouse at 149 Broadway, advertising as a "Manufacturer of Silverware, and Importer of Lamps and Chandeliers." This sauceboat was likely made in Gardiner’s new workshop in the early 1830s. Its graceful profile, elegant ornament, and considerable weight make it an excellent example of his oeuvre.
