Spode Christmas Tree Sauce Boat and Stand

Tasty gravy and zesty sauces mean the holidays to many, and this sauce boat and stand is a fun, festive way to serve either at the next holiday meal. The boat holds 2 cups of gravy ready for your holiday turkey or stuffing and is 8-1/2 by 6-1/2-inches. It features a slightly raised handle that makes for easy grasping and pouring, and a graceful, scooped spout that pours generously. The stand provides prevents dripping onto fine tablecloths, provides a handy place to rest a ladle, and makes for easy passing at the table. Both the boat and stand are white with the pattern's calling-card Christmas tree design at center; the rim of the plate is kissed with a sprig of holly, and the edges are circled in a rich green border, creating a simple and vibrant holiday look. For those needing only the boat or stand, not both, each can be bought individually. Made in England of Imperialware, Spode's high-quality earthenware, the boat and stand are safe for the oven, dishwasher, freezer, and microwave. Place in a cold oven and heat gradually up to 100 degrees C (about 200 degrees F); if using the dishwasher, contact Spode for a list of recommended detergents. --Jeff Dalto
