Description
This gravy boat is made from stoneware and finished in a grey reactive glaze, flecked with fine speckles that give the surface depth up close. It holds 340ml, a proper gravy boat size for the family roast, and measures 20cm long, 8cm wide and 10.5cm tall, so it fits easily between the dishes on a crowded table. The body rises from a small foot to a softly uneven rim and draws out into a long pouring spout, with a rounded handle opposite for a steady grip as you pour. It weighs 0.383KG empty.
Its place is the dining table. Pour gravy over the Sunday roast or Christmas dinner, custard over a crumble, cream beside a fruit tart, or pass a dressing round with a summer salad. At breakfast it works as a jug for warm milk, honey or maple syrup with pancakes. The 340ml capacity suits an everyday family meal or a small supper with friends, and the long spout directs the pour onto the plate. The grey is a quiet, useful shade, so it sits happily with white, grey or blue tableware and with wood or linen.
The reactive glaze gives each piece its character: a reactive glaze changes as it fires, so the speckle and tone vary a little from one piece to the next, and yours will be its own. Care is easy. It goes in the dishwasher, and it goes in the microwave, so a sauce that has cooled can be warmed through in the boat itself. It also goes in the oven, so you can warm it before the gravy goes in; stoneware holds heat well, which is why warming a serving piece first is worth doing. For a tidy table, stand it on a side plate to catch any drips, and let the grey glaze sit against plain white plates.
