Trend Pacific Mid-Century Modern Matte Black Gravy Boat with Underplate

This is a two-piece gravy boat set consisting of a vessel and a matching underplate, characterized by a distinct Mid-Century Modern aesthetic. The set is crafted from ceramic with a signature matte black satin finish on the exterior surfaces. The gravy boat features an aerodynamic, elliptical body with a streamlined spout and a contrasting white ceramic handle that exhibits a unique, sculptural bridge-like design. The interior of the boat is glazed in a glossy white for functional cleaning. On the underside of the vessel, there is a clear manufacturer's hallmark within a square border that reads 'TREND' followed by 'Pacific' and 'Made in Japan'. Roughly dating to the 1960s or 1970s, this set reflects the 'Continental' or 'Pacific' lines often associated with designers like Edith Heath or similar Japanese imports of that era. Regarding condition, the matte finish shows light surface scuffing and fingerprints, which is typical for this specific glaze. There is some visible wear and minor kiln debris on the unglazed foot rim. The plate shows consistent coloration with the boat, indicating they are a factory-matched set. No significant chips or cracks are immediately visible in the provided view, suggesting a well-maintained vintage state.
