Hand-Painted Stoneware Gravy Boat — Cobalt Sheep, Blue Rim, Artist Signed
$28
The story
A charming country-pottery gravy boat in speckled grey stoneware, hand-painted in cobalt with little sheep grazing between blue bands and finished with a blue-dipped rim. Signed in cobalt brushwork near the base on one side — it looks like "Wrightson," but we haven't been able to confirm the potter. Lovely for gravy or sauce, as a creamer for a crowd, or holding a bunch of wildflowers.
Item #A55
