Manufacturer: J Wedgwood, Staffordshire potter
We love Fig Shape! Here is a nice white ironstone sauce boat measuring 9 inches long by 4 1/2 inches tall.

It was made in the John Wedge Wood pottery, also known as J. Wedgwood, and dates to 1856. It bears the pottery's backstamp and the English registry mark. Two potteries made this shape, Davenport and John Wedge Wood. The Fig / Union Shapes can be used together as the designs are almost identical.
It is in good condition, free of cracks, hairlines, stains, and restorations. There are 3 tiny dings to the inside of the rim as pictured.
Note the sharp embossing of fig leaves and fruits and the crabstock bands on the rim and pedestalled base. The handle also has sharp embossing.
