ProfessionalProduct description
This boat-shaped gravy boat with a pouring spout is a tableware item of understated and confident elegance. The fine ivory-cream earthenware from Longwy, luminous and soft, is highlighted by the spiral-ribbed body and the scalloped edge that give the piece its character. The black rim along the edge of the gravy boat and its underplate distinguishes the set with tasteful discretion. The decoration is hand-painted, as evidenced by the inscription « Décors à la main » (Hand Decorations) on the reverse. On the body, a naturalistic floral bouquet unfolds freely: yellow flowers, green foliage, red and brown fruits on sinuous stems. The style is typical of French floral decorations from the 1930s-1950s, warm and lively, far from the coldness of industrial designs. On the reverse, a stylized brown and beige heraldic cartouche completes the ensemble. The Longwy factory, founded in 1798 in Meurthe-et-Moselle, is one of the great French earthenware manufacturers from the East of France. Known for its Art Deco cloisonné enamels, it also produces very high-quality fine earthenware, of which this gravy boat is a testament. The « Longwy France » mark on the reverse dates the piece to the 1930s-1950s. The underplate measures 28 cm in length. The gravy boat measures 13 cm in interior width. The set is complete and integral. Very good condition. Some light signs of use on the underplate, decoration intact, black rim impeccable.
