Description

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION WE OFFER THIS LOVELY SAUCEPAN MADE IN FRANCE. IT IS STAMPED PORCELAINE DE PARIS, FRANCE. THE CROSSED ARROWS HAVE A 'B' ALONGSIDE THEM BUT WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING ABOUT THE B. THE PORCELAINE DE PARIS WAS/IS AN UMBRELLA MARK AND USUALLY THERE WERE OTHER MARKS TO INDICATE THE MAKER. THE PATTERN IS LISTED ON 'REPLACEMENTS' AS PDP29...POSSIBLY THEIR INVENTORY NUMBER, NO PATTERN NAME. IT STATES MANUFACTURER UNKNOWN AND DOES NOT SAY THAT IS IS DISCONTINUED, ALTHOUGH THERE IS NOTHING IN STOCK. AND WE HAVE NOT SEEN THIS PATTERN ANYWHERE EXCEPT FOR ONE SIMILAR JUG IN EBAY WITH NO INFORMATION EITHER. THIS BEAUTIFUL POT IS ALSO UNUSUAL. IT HAS A SPOUT ON BOTH SIDES FOR POURING. THE LID FITS DOWN INTO THE POT AND IS EVEN DECORATED ON BOTH SIDES WITH THE RING OF GOLD LEAVES. SO THE LID COULD BE USED FOR CANDY OR APPETIZERS. WITH THE LID ON IT STANDS 4" HIGH AND THE WIDEST POINT IN DIAMETER IS JUST UNDER 8". IT IS VERY HEAVY. THERE ARE NO CHIPS OR SCRATCHES BUT SOME DISCOLORATION IS ON THE INNER RIM AT THE TOP AND THE UNDERSIDE RIM OF THE LID AND THE BASE. VERY NICE CONDITION. HAPPY BIDDING!
