About the piece

Product Information ❯

The Riva Barbara sauce boat in a silver finish with an arched handle is designed to bring sauces to the table with control and a clean presentation. The spout guides a steady stream and helps cut the final drop before it reaches the tablecloth, while the curved handle provides a secure grip for one-handed serving. The silver finish ties in with classic table settings and pairs well with trays and metal flatware.

The translucent body lets you see the color and texture of the contents, useful for distinguishing different sauces in the same service. The raised base keeps the piece stable on the table or on a tray, reducing the risk of sliding when movement increases as you pour. It works for casual Sunday lunches and formal dinners alike, in settings where the sauce needs to remain accessible throughout the meal.

Versatile, it serves vinaigrettes and cold sauces as well as more robust preparations such as gravy and warm reductions. On larger tables, two pieces placed along the setting help avoid unnecessary passing and keep the service flowing.

How to Use at the Table ❯

Positioning

Place the sauce boat near the main platter or among the side dishes. On a long table, repeat the piece at opposite points so everyone can reach it.

Service

Fill without exceeding the line of the spout to avoid spillover when you tilt to pour. To cut the final drop, make a light wrist turn and bring the spout back up.

Combinations

Use on a metal tray or a small saucer when the table calls for extra protection. The silver finish coordinates with serving cutlery and other metal accessories.

Cleaning and care

Wash right after use with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Dry completely to preserve the shine of the silver finish.
