專家說明

Schroder, op. cit., p. 395 notes that this pair of sauceboats and the smaller pair which remain in the Gilbert Collection are direct copies after a pair of sauceboats by Frederick Kandler, 1742, engraved with the arms of Lambourne, now in the collection of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.

Schroder, op. cit., p. 397 quotes Grimwade op. cit., p.229 who commented that the sauceboats and ladles were 'an interesting example of the return to taste, even if limited, of the rococo style during the Regency period'. As Schroder notes William Pitts favoured the rococo revival style and also produced many pieces in the historicist manner, including works based on the oeuvre of de Lamerie and other Huguenot silversmiths and those from the Continent. Examples include a George III silver-gilt sideboard dish chased by William Pitts, London, 1808, retailed by Rundell, Bridge and Rundell with the central scene of the Feast of the Gods taken from a 16th century bronze plaque by Guglielmo della Porta. (Christie's, New York, 19 May 2010, lot 145).
