This is one exceptional Gravy/Sauce Boat with detached underplate that was made by Coalport, England in the famous Indian tree pattern.
It is very rare and hard to find piece.
The pattern includes the crooked, coral-like branches of a leafy, flowering tree set in an exotic landscape.
This pattern was produced for many years so over the years there are slight changes in sizes or intensity of the colors.
The gravy has an older standard Crown mark.
The underplate is 7 7/8" by 5 7/8" at the rim, the gravy is 3 1/8" tall to the spout
The gravy is in good condition. I can't see any chips, cracks or repairs, there is no crazing.
It could have some utensils mark consistent with its age
It is a Lovely looking piece and could be admired for many years to come.
There is a long list of companies that produced Indian Tree patterned wares over the years
but the original manufacturer was Coalport who debuted the pattern in 1802 in their England factory.
The pattern was an immensely popular and large section of the factory was devoted to the production of it.
Fledgling china painters apprenticed at the factory, learning to decorate the Indian Tree wares.
The colors were hand painted over a black transfer outline.
The exact origin of the design is undetermined though there are tales of fabric swatches and paper brought back from the Far East.
The history of Coalport China begins in 1750 when Squire Edward Brown started Caughley China to produce dinnerware using clay found on his estate.
Indian Tree was a very successful pattern for Coalport, the company dedicated an entire department to its production!
Just imagine your special table set with these beautiful pieces.
A party makes an elegant statement when set with antique porcelain.
