While the gravy boat is a more modern, utilitarian vessel built for the motion of pouring, the classical French saucière is an anchor of stationary elegance. It sits gracefully upon the table — a footed basin fused to its own protective tray — designed to be courted with a silver ladle. This saucière form, no handle, two pour spouts, is one of the most elegant serving vessels at the table, and this one is especially beautiful: fine translucent bone china in pattern N1427, ornate in decoration, understated in form.

The RC backstamp tells a specific story: Royal Crockery was a Noritake brand created for the India and Southeast Asian markets, registered in 1933 and used through approximately 1946. We carry matching dinnerware place settings and serving pieces in this pattern.
