If you love patina then this is a wonderful sauce boat for you. I selected it personally as a 'coup de coeur' beacuse it shows its age and life in such a delightful style. It has old chips, and areas of 'tea' staining making it a unique one of a kind treasure.
 
As well as its acquired patterns from a life in a French home, it has a delightful swirled blue on white pattern, elegant shaping and a fluted form.
 
Made by Gien and dating back to the 1870s
 
It has chips under the spouts, on the handles and one under the saucer. The saucer is 10.5" long and 7" wide, the boat 9" long and 5" tall.
