Vintage 70s Wedgwood Georgetown Mount Vernon Gravy Boat w Underplate
Best choice for collectors of historic, mid-century kitchenware.
This vintage 70s Wedgwood gravy boat and underplate set, part of the Georgetown collection and featuring the Mount Vernon pattern, is a charming addition to any table. Crafted from white and green ironstone in the United Kingdom, it was released around the USA's bicentennial. The gravy server with its attached underplate measures approximately 9 x 5 x 4.5 inches. While it exhibits some crazing and a tiny chip on the underside, it remains a rare find, as this pattern was only produced for a few years in the 1970s. It comes from a smoke-free, pet-free environment.
