Vintage Syracuse China Stansbury Gravy Boat with Attached Underplate – Federal Shape, Made in USA (1950s–60s)

This elegant vintage gravy boat by Syracuse China features the classic Federal Shape with the romantic “Stansbury” floral pattern—delicate sprays of pink and green blossoms trimmed in gold on creamy ivory china.

Made in America, this mid-century classic combines fine craftsmanship with timeless design.

Founded in the late 1800s, Syracuse China became known for its durable hotel ware and elegant domestic patterns. The “Federal Shape” line introduced refined curves and scalloped edges to meet the postwar demand for graceful, yet practical dinnerware. The Stansbury pattern, with its delicate floral bouquets and soft palette, was especially popular in the 1950s and 1960s, often gifted at weddings or used during Sunday best dinners. Pieces like this are now collected for their nostalgic charm, American-made quality, and ability to mix beautifully with modern cottagecore or traditional tablescapes.
