Beautiful vintage opaque porcelain gravy boat / sauce jug with saucer decorated with a mint green rim and gold edging. Stamped underneath : "Porcelain - SA- Opaque". Opaque porcelain, also known as fine earthenware or demi-porcelain, originated in England in 1769 and appeared in France at the end of the 18th century, notably in the Pont aux Choux factory. It is a white opaque fine-textured dense paste covered with a simple transparent glaze. It was popular amongst wealthier clients. Thicker coarser earthenware was aimed at more modest households. Perfect for completing a service and creating a unique dinner table. Some pieces have stains and the colours can be faded.
