Found at a market in Carpentras, in Provence.An antique French saucière on an attached stand — bowl, pedestal foot and underplate made in one piece — from the Choisy-le-Roi faience rie of Hippolyte Boulenger & Cie, c. 1880–1900. The terre de fer body carries a purple-blue transfer of grapevines, tendrils and knotted ribbon bows, with floral sprays and a running border along the stand. The deeply impressed mark Granit Médaille d'Or HB Choisy-le-Roi sits beneath the base. Purple transferware is far less common than the standard blue.Even, fine crazing throughout, softened into a warm patina, with some age-toning and a tiny nick at the rim — no cracks or repairs.Measurements: CM: H 12 × W 14.5 × L 22 cm — INCH: H 4.7" × W 5.7" × L 8.7" Shipping to the United States: the price you see includes all import duties and tariffs.
