Sauciers were used for exactly what it sounds like… serving sauces. They later began using handles on one end (gravy boats) as more people began to serve themselves instead of having someone serving them. Today you could use them for sauce or a multitude of other uses. Car keys, wash cloths, flowers, potpourri… the ideas are endless.

This white and green one with red flowers would make a great Christmas decoration as well. It does show a bit of wear on the top rim and inside, and the craze is a bit cracked. But for its age it is in very good condition. Moulin des Loups & Hamages operated from 1928-1953, and this one dates to the late 1930s or early 1940s.

Dimensions: 9.25” L x 5.5” W x 4” H
