Photo above illustrates a heavy duty 9" French Navy bowl used in the Petty Officer's mess. All French Navy plates and china dinnerware and silverware uses the same Fouled Anchor topmark with distinction being the color and size.

Photo to the right shows the French Navy (or Marine Nationale) topmark which consists of a blue fouled anchor. Note the crisp blue nautical rope design around the bowl. Some newer French Navy dinnerware has a more stylized anchor design, however it is not very chic or as desirable as the original fouled anchor motif.

Photo to the left shows in detail the distinctive French Navy fouled anchor as the topmark on the offered china. The photo to the right shows a dated 1941 French Navy Recruit Manual illustrating the French Fouled Anchor.

Like most of the world's navies the French standarized their stylized anchor almost used as a trademark for their naval service. Most navies do not deviate or change their anchor's. An example would be the United States Navy, it has only changed it's fouled anchor symbol once in over 100 years - from a twisted arm to a fixed straight arm!

ANY TEXT BELOW THIS LINE IS SOLEY FOR THE BENEFIT OF SEARCH BOTS, SPYDERS AND OTHER DENIZENS OF THE DEEP DARK ~~SEA~~ INTERNET The French Navy Bowls called the French navy of France. The French Navy Cups and Saucers apparently had fine china tableware made for it.
Which included a serving bowl or tureen. This would be a perfect gift for French Naval attache, a French diplomat or even as a formal presentation gift for a French Ambassador

A French Navy Plates and military attache would also love to have this official French tableware and perhaps even French Navy dinnerware as it includes the soup bowls, fish servers, various sugar bowls and dinner plates and cups.
