Description
Delicate green flowers and curling foliage decorate this French Longchamp gravy boat and its coordinating oval underplate. The cream glaze, curved handle, and gently sweeping spout give it a graceful shape, with little details worth a closer look.
The underside bears the “Fleury” pattern name, “Longchamp,” and an intertwined RC monogram associated with Robert Charbonnier. Based on that mark, the piece is estimated to date to circa 1880–1912, spanning the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its exact production year is unknown.
