This is an elegant 19th century French ironstone (Terre de Fer) sauce or gravy boat by probably Boulenger & Cie or E. Bourgeois Grand Depot, decorated in the Wild Rose design. The Floreal pattern is in a beautiful blue on a nice slighty creamy, with a gorgeous floral pattern of blue flowers and foliage, full of rustic French charm.
This is a substantial piece of tableware, with a base measurement of 28cms and standing approx 11cm in height. It is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks except a tiny chip on the edge barely visible (see last picture), and would make a wonderful addition to the dining table or as part of a collection. The transferware is still very bright and shiny.

♥ About Emile Bourgeois (1823-1926) ♥
Emile Bourgeois, who owned a famous French-style store, located at 21 rue Drouot, in Paris, opened in 1862 and until its closure in 1902, was dedicated exclusively to high-end china. Emile Bourgeois (1823-1926), always remained faithful to his philosophy: to present the best and only the best in chinaware and earthenware. The greatest china and earthenware houses, such as Theodore Haviland, Haviland Morel, Choisy le Roi and others presented in this Parisian store sold here the best of their porcelain and ceramics products, and without exaggeration, many were the products on Emile Bourgeois' counter that could be considered masterpieces. These pieces bear the mark "Le Grand Dépôt Emile Bourgeois at 21 rue Drouot". Within Emile Bourgeois' Parisian shop, the first catalogue was also created, where one could purchase china objects or other products. They were not items made in series, but unique objects of applied and decorative arts. Due to the high quality of the objects during the first few years of the shop's existence, it was soon transformed into a "museum-shop" and it's these same objects which represented French china at international fairs, testifying the excellence in French chinaware and earthenware. |
