Yesterday was a beautiful day in Colorado, so we decided to go to the Antique Show & Sale at the Colorado State Fairgrounds. They have this show four times a year, and there is always a wide variety of items and a wide variety of prices! We have been antiquing out and about for about 45 years, and don't purchase too much any more. But I'm always on the lookout for brown transferware from the 19th Century especially at a good price.
I bought this gravy boat yesterday for $14. It is in perfect condition; and I figured at that price for something with an 1800s registry mark, I couldn't go wrong!

Just look at the aesthetic period decoration on the handle.
It's a real charmer.
We had lunch out; and with this treasure to bring home to enjoy, it was a great day.
Thanks for stopping by,

Sally,
What a beautiful piece. I think you got a good deal! I hardly ever run across brown transferware. It seems like I can't find red anymore either!
Very pretty sitting atop those red books!
