Title: Rare 1940s Lu-Ray Pastels Windsor Blue Gravy Boat – Hand-Painted Folk Art by Artist Carmen BussmanDescription:Up for sale is a truly unique, one-of-a-kind piece of American ceramic history. This is an original vintage Lu-Ray Pastels open gravy/sauce boat, manufactured by the Taylor, Smith & Taylor Company (TS&T) in Chester, West Virginia. It features the factory’s iconic mid-century "Empire" shape mold, recognizable by its elegant swooping pour spout, low silhouette, and distinctive thumb-rest handle.The base glaze is the highly collectible "Windsor Blue," a soft pastel shade originally launched in 1938.The Artwork:While Lu-Ray Pastels were exclusively sold by the factory as solid-colored dinnerware, this specific piece was used as a canvas by twentieth-century studio hobbyist artist Carmen Bussman. She meticulously hand-painted a gorgeous, detailed botanical motif featuring purple grapes, ripe blackberries, and green leaves over the factory glaze.The piece is prominently hand-signed by the artist ("Carmen Bussman") on the underbelly right alongside the original factory backstamp. The factory shape number "1521" is also clearly visible.Condition & Details:Manufacturer: Taylor, Smith & Taylor (TS&T)Line/Color: Lu-Ray Pastels in Windsor BlueShape Number: 1521 (Gravy / Sauce Boat)Era: Circa 1940s–1950sArtist: Carmen Bussman (Hand-Signed)Condition: Excellent vintage condition.
