Know before you buy
Grade 1 items are in excellent, near-perfect vintage condition with minimal signs of use. Grade 2 items may show more noticeable wear, such as light surface scratches or minor imperfections in the glaze, but remain fully functional and structurally sound.
Denby stoneware is known for its durability and is generally dishwasher and microwave safe. However, because this is a vintage piece, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the glaze and pattern over time.
The underplate is a separate, matching piece designed to sit underneath the gravy boat. This allows you to use the boat on its own if preferred and makes the underplate easy to clean or repurpose for small side dishes.
The gravy boat measures 5 7/8 inches in length, making it an ideal size for standard table service. It is perfectly proportioned for serving gravy, sauces, or dressings for a small to medium-sized gathering.
Yes, the Castile Blue pattern is consistent across the Denby range. Because these are vintage items, there may be very slight variations in color depth due to the firing process, which is characteristic of authentic Denby stoneware.
