Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and you may be settling on your menu. Since part of meal planning (especially this level of meal planning) is figuring out how to deliver all that food to your guests' plates, you also may be settling on which serving bowls, platters, and utensils to implement on the day of.
Which brings me to an all-important question: How do you plan to serve your gravy?
Will you use a gravy boat, or something else? I don't think that I'm alone when I say that gravy boats are strange little things. They're more than a bowl with a spout, but less than a pitcher. (Britney might be able to relate.) From my eye, that in-between aesthetic tends to leave an unfulfilled opportunity for a bit more design interest on the table. If you're in the mood to mix things up this year, you might consider a few gravy boat alternatives.
A hand-made bowl that looks like an artifact.
This ribbed bowl by Portmeirion.
The smallest of this ceramic and glass nesting set.
A Russian porcelain piece.
A utilitarian, autumn-hued copper pitcher.
Sweet purple glass.
A blue-trimmed creamer.
Thoughts? Would you use any of these items to serve gravy or other sauces this Thanksgiving?
LOL! Britney....
