Antique Gravy Boat Appraisal

Gravy Boat with Attached Saucer

The item is a white ceramic gravy boat with an attached saucer. The gravy boat has a subtle fluted design around the rim and a gold trim along the upper edge. The saucer also has a matching gold trim around its outer edge. A small, delicate floral or botanical pattern is visible on the side of the gravy boat, featuring leaves in shades of gray, orange, and perhaps a touch of light green. The ceramic appears to be smooth and glossy, suggesting a porcelain or fine earthenware material. The shape of the gravy boat is somewhat elongated and slightly squared off at the ends, with a curved pouring spout on the opposite side of the handle (which is not fully visible). The attached saucer is elliptical, providing a stable base and catching any drips. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant areas of wear in the observable areas, although some minor surface scratches or signs of use might be present upon closer inspection. No manufacturer's marks or signatures are discernible from the image. The overall style appears to be classic or potentially mid-century, suggesting an estimated age of mid to late 20th century. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with crisp lines and well-applied decoration. The gold trim appears intact and shows no obvious signs of rubbing or loss.
