What is a gravy boat? Traditionally used for serving gravy, sauces, and warm accompaniments, a gravy boat is a small serving vessel designed for easy pouring. Some feature an attached base or matching underplate, while others have graceful handles, spouts, or pedestal feet.
Vintage gravy boats are wonderfully versatile beyond the holiday table. Use them to serve homemade gravy, hollandaise, salad dressings, dessert sauces, or warm maple syrup. They also make beautiful additions to a collected dinnerware set, whether you’re replacing a piece from a beloved china pattern or mixing different makers and eras.
