Portmeirion Botanic Garden 20-Ounce Gravy Boat and Stand
This handsomely proportioned gravy boat from Portmeirion Potteries makes a striking addition to any dinner table, and it coordinates beautifully with the rest of the Botanic Garden collection.  Its elegant curves taper to an oversized lip, making for easy pouring without drips or spills. The gravy boat is decorated with a bold hand-painted flower motif, while the understated stand is plain except for the collection's trademark leaf border.More than 30 years ago the founder of Portmeirion Potteries was inspired by 19th-century botanical illustrations to create the Botanic Garden collection of tableware and cookware. Each piece is crafted from fine glazed earthenware and features highly detailed floral designs complemented by a simple border of green leaves to give the collection a coordinated look. Botanic Garden tableware is safe in the freezer, microwave, oven, and dishwasher, but it should not be subjected to sudden changes in temperature.--Simon Leake
