Wedgwood Creamware Gravy Boat

This item is an elegant gravy boat or sauce boat, expertly crafted in creamware, likely by the renowned manufacturer Wedgwood. It features a warm, ivory-tone glazed ceramic body with a classic Victorian or Neo-Classical revival aesthetic. The vessel's exterior is adorned with intricate low-relief molded patterns, including a continuous frieze of scrolling acanthus leaves, floral rosettes, and decorative urn motifs. A delicate rope-twist or 'gadrooned' border trims the upper rim and the oval pedestal base, providing a finished texture. The piece features a graceful, upswept pouring spout and a distinctively curved C-scroll handle with a thumb rest for ergonomic use. Its construction demonstrates high-quality craftsmanship characteristic of fine English earthenware, with cleanly defined relief work and a smooth, reflective glaze. While no maker's mark is visible from this angle, the style strongly suggests mid-to-late 20th-century production, possibly from the Wedgwood 'Queensware' or 'Festival' lines. From the provided image, the condition appears excellent, with no visible chips, cracks, or heavy crazing, though light surface wear consistent with age and occasional use may be present upon closer inspection.
