DescriptionThis is a Worcester small "Dolphin Ewer" sauceboat. It is press-molded on either side with scallop shell fluting and under the spout with a leaf tip, two addorsed dolphins, and a scallop shell above small shells and leafage around the gilt dentil-edged oval foot. The interior rim has a gilt dentil edge. The back is molded with a foliate device and is affixed with a gilt-heightened lamprey handle. The spout and rim have chips, the rim and footrim have overfired patches, there are minor firing cracks, and there is some wear to the gilding.ProvenanceHenry Clay Hofheimer, II
