The gravy boat has a blue crackle effect band around the base with butterflies and bumble-bees above.
Please note there is staining to the bottom of the gravy boat as shown in the photograph.
Second quality
Items classed as seconds have failed one or more of the manufacturer's stringent manual inspections for quality. This may be due to a marginal fault to the shape of the item (e.g. might be slightly lob-sided), the size or weight (e.g. the item might be slightly under or over the specified accepted size/weight), the finish (e.g. any print or decoration might be offset or slightly lighter/darker than the manufacturer's standard), or a number of other aspects that the manufacturer doesn't think is perfect enough. Second-quality items are usually denoted by a mark or scratch through the manufacturer's back stamp, but they are still perfectly functional. If you are happy to accept slightly less-than-perfect quality, seconds can be a good buy, as they are cheaper than their first quality equivalent.
Previously owned - signs of wear
Items showing signs of wear have visible usage marks, either scuffs, fading and/or more extreme cutlery marks (more than expected for the age of the item). Specific details are mentioned in the description above.
