Of exceptional weight, the oval bowl having a shaped rim

"Small oval cream boats were only occasionally produced,
and the majority were of plain design in imitation of the larger sauce boats."
Most are of a far lighter weight, and most are also damaged –
i.e. the feet pushed in or straining at the silver junctions.

This is not the case with this heavy gauge small boat.

Condition : Excellent, without damage or repairs; makers mark rubbed to one side

4-5/8" Long x 2-1/2" Wide x 3-1/2" High (Over handle)
