A SMALL COLLECTION OF ANTIQUE SILVER
AND OBJECTS OF VERTU

silver sauce boat (or pap boat?)- Austria

 Austrian antique silver sauce or pap boat this silver sauce boat has hallmarks of Pest ( Budapest: Austria - Hungary) by silversmith Gyorgy Goszmann (1807-after 1866), master 1836 (courtesy Charles C. Cage).
The shape is quite unusual for a sauce boat and, maybe, this is a feeding cup for infants or invalids (the Continental equivalence of the English 'pap boat'). In 18th and 19th century the "pap boat" was used by parents or nursemaids to feed a baby. Pap was a thick mixture of gruel based on milk.
The boat is 6 1/2 in. long (cm. 16) and was bought from an English dealer through the Internet.

Here is illustrated also an English silver pap boat, London, circa 1750.
