Know before you buy
No, this piece is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it with mild soap to preserve the finish and integrity of the porcelain.
This sauceboat is not microwave safe. It is designed specifically for serving, so you should heat your sauces or gravies in a separate container before transferring them to the boat.
No, the underplate is a separate piece. This design allows for easier cleaning and gives you the flexibility to use the sauceboat with or without the tray.
The underplate serves as a drip catcher, protecting your tablecloth or dining surface from spills and stains while providing a more polished, formal presentation.
Pillivuyt porcelain is known for its durability and high-quality construction. While it is resistant to thermal shock and everyday wear, it should still be handled with the care typical of fine porcelain serveware.
