A lovely glazed stoneware gravy boat with an integrated saucer, made in the Fontgombault monastery workshop in the Indre region of France, a vintage piece from the 1960s-1970s. It has a beautiful, well-balanced, round shape with a spout and handle, and a nuanced, deep red, oxblood-red glaze enhanced with green drips and dots, and a few bluish accents. The base bears the incised inscription "Fontgombault" as well as a small "FTG" mark.
The saucer measures 15cm in diameter, the gravy boat alone 13cm in diameter, and the total length, including the handle, is 19cm, with a height of approximately 5.7cm. The piece is in very good overall condition, with only some original firing cracks on the base. One crack is through the glaze and extends to the top, but does not weaken the piece. It weighs approximately 700-800g.
