This Maxwell & Williams White Basics Gravy Boat and Saucer set is ideal for everyday family use, offering classic styling and exceptional versatility. Its key benefit is the durable, first-quality vitreous porcelain construction that is safe for microwave, oven, dishwasher, and freezer. A potential caveat is its simple, unadorned design, which may not suit highly formal dining settings. The set includes a 550ml gravy boat and a matching saucer.

Troubleshooting
Gravy boat has faint scratches or scuffs.
This can sometimes occur from contact with metal utensils or abrasive cleaning. Try cleaning with a non-abrasive cleaner like baking soda paste. For future use, recommend using non-metal serving utensils.
Sauce appears to stain the porcelain.
While vitreous porcelain is resistant to staining, highly pigmented sauces left for extended periods may leave a slight discoloration. Soak the affected area in warm water with a mild detergent or a denture cleaning tablet. Ensure the item is rinsed thoroughly after cleaning.
Product arrived chipped or cracked.
