Meissen Blue Onion Handled Gravy/SSauce Boat
Germany, late 19th century

Meissen Blue Onion-handled gravy/sauce boat from the late 19th century, Germany. Measuring 8.75 inches wide, 5.25 inches deep, and 3.25 inches high, this oblong-shaped boat is a fine example of Meissen workmanship. Decorated with the timeless 'Blue Onion' pattern, first introduced in 1739 and inspired by East Asian motifs such as pomegranates, peaches, bamboo, lotus blossoms, and chrysanthemums, this piece captures the elegance and artistry of Meissen porcelain. The underglaze is meticulously hand-painted, highlighting the intricate detailing that Meissen is renowned for. The famous blue crossed swords hallmark, a symbol of authenticity and quality, is prominently marked.

This gravy boat is not only a functional piece of tableware but also a work of art, reflecting the rich history and tradition of Meissen porcelain. Perfect for collectors of fine ceramics, antique enthusiasts, or anyone looking to add a touch of classic elegance to their dining experience.
