sauce boats

Oblong pouring dishes

Sauce boats are small, elongated serving vessels with a spout for pouring gravy, sauce, or dressing at the table.

The boat-shaped design—low, narrow, with a curved lip—allows controlled pouring without drips.

Most have a single handle and sit on an attached saucer or tray.
