Description from Williams-Sonoma

Designed to keep sauces warm throughout a meal, this clever serving piece makes a sophisticated presentation of everything from all-American turkey gravy to classic French hollandaise. The traditional porcelain sauceboat, with its generous loop handle and narrow spout for easy pouring, rests on a warming stand that holds a tealight candle (not included). It is made in France by Pillivuyt, a company known for fine tableware since 1818. Microwavable and dishwasher safe.
