There is something lacking from our household at the moment.
No, it is not our joie de vivre (though we could all do with a bit more of that).
We are very partial to homemade sauces and gravy in our family. Be it creamy leek and mushroom sauce, rich red wine gravy, or even traditional custard, we love ’em.
But… having broken the nasty glass jug we used to serve them in, we are reduced to ladling them out straight from the pan.
No good at all.
So, we are in dire need of a sauce boat. Vintage, naturally.
But which to choose?
So many gravy boats and jugs… so much indecision…
I love them all, but just can’t make up my mind!
If any of you retro fans out there can find me any other beauties worth considering (cheap, mind!) please do let me know.
Because I think we all need to bring a bit of sauce into our lives.
And onto our table. 🙂
They are all beautiful!
Oh I like the Meakin ones best of all, but they are all gorgeous. x
They are all lovely … but definitely the top one for me … happy searching … Bee xx
They’re all very nice…I’ve had my eye on that yellow Scandi one for ages so that one’s my favourite. I like the colours and simple geometric design of the 2nd one down though. So much loveliness choose from! x
I really love the pattern on the Egersund one, but the shape does remind me – just a little – of a potty!
What a saucy dilemma!! Putting Mungo + Midge’s contribution aside for a mo, I love the Egersund colours and pattern. Love the blog and am experiencing some serious vintage envy toward your lamp and wall decor in the previous post… Thanks for featuring Mungo + Midge – I’m now off to check out your Etsy shop!
Hi Angela, loving your Etsy shop and facebook page! Will definitely be keeping an eye on your wares, even if I don’t end up purchasing your gravy boat! (sssh, don’t tell anyone, but there is another one I really have my eye on! It is a secret and not included in this round-up in case someone else nabs it ;))
I love the Royal Tuscan Satsuma one, but for a smooth pouring sauce, you can’t beat a teapot! Always serve gravy with a roast from my old 50s brown teapot – keeps it hot and pours well. Just imagine creme anglaise from a vintage coffee pot … or red wine sauce from a decanter … Mad Hatter’s Dinner Party – bring it on!
Love the idea of a Mad Hatter’s Dinner Party sue, but it wouldn’t work for us. Our sauces are rarely of the smooth variety, and even when smooth they are usually too thick to pour from a teapot!
