Description
William Cripps. An Exceptionally Fine & Unusual George II Sauceboat Made in London in 1753 by William Cripps.
The Sauceboat is of a substantial size and has a slightly baluster body rising to an applied gadrooned rim. The main body stands on three very unusual ribbed legs, with shell feet, attached to the main body with scalloped oval mouldings - a most unusual design. The cast scroll handle is also decorated with ribbing and is very well marked on the base. The front of the main body is engraved with a contemporary Armorial, within a lozenge, surrounded by a shell and foliate spray cartouche. The Arms are those of a maiden Lady of the Tufton family, Earls of Thanet, created 1628. The Arms are specifically those of Lady Charlotte Tufton. She was born in 1728, one of three children of Sackville Tufton, 7th Earl, by his wife, Lady Mary Saville. Her father died in 1753. Lady Charlotte died at her home in Seymour Place, London, in 1803. She left £ 20,000 to her nephew, the then Earl, all her furniture to a Mrs Blackwell, described as her old intimate friend, and the remainder of her fortune, after a few small bequests to Lady Caroline Barham, nee Tufton, her niece. Lady Charlotte was buried with considerable pomp in the Tufton vault at Rainham, co. Kent.
William Cripps is considered a particularly fine maker who was apprentice to the famous David Willaume. The quality of his designs and production is exceptional. A.G.Grimwade states that As might be expected from his training under Willaume, he became an accomplished craftsman and a versatile exponent of the Rococo style; to judge from his surviving pieces he enjoyed a considerable clientele. The Sauceboat has a fine colour and is in excellent condition. A very fine example from the George II period.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
