Isn’t it a gravy separator? You use one spout to pour off fat and oil from the surface, and once you’ve done that you pour the gravy from the other side.
My in-laws used to have one of these, there’s no way of pouring anything without it spilling all over the in-built saucer which then just drips everywhere.
Double spoon rest? I can’t understand the point of this otherwise.
Reminds me of a scene in Requiem for a Dream.
Fill it with gravy and lady and the tramp it. 2 people one drink from each end
You would use it with a little ladle, or spoon.
All you need now is one with two handles and no spout.
Those are not spouts, they are for resting a ladle or spoon with which you use to serve the contents.
It’s a vase. You lay the flowers either side. I think they were called bud vases
My mother would always tell use she used the gravy boat for collecting urine samples, after we had poured the gravy. She also used to say she used the chapstick for anal chapping after we had borrowed it. I think the shorter, shallower ‘spout’ is the handle.
My parents have had that for decades. What a throw back!!! I think the idea is you hold it via the plate and it collects any spills
What you think are “spouts” are for your thumbs whilst you wash your nuts.
You don’t pour gravy, you spoon it out.
The smaller side is for your thumb, the larger side is to pour the gravy out. I have a plastic version of this and I hate it. It doesn’t keep the gravy hot as all.
I think that would be a wonderfully British insult, especially if conveyed with a thick Barnsley accent:
“Tha’s like a gravy boat wi two spouts and no ‘andles”.
You misspelled monster in law
I’m going to start using that as an insult.
“He’s all spout, no handle, that boy”
“He’s like a gravy boat with no handle, the useless prick”
I looked at this and in my head I thought, “Oh that’s useful, you could have one side for regular gravy and one side for vegetarian!”
I think I need to go back to bed. Or school.
Not a gravy boat. That’s a porcelain Emu. Please attach to the face of your nearest Michael Parkinson.
You can put gravy in one side and white sauce in the other.
Would love to make this molten hot with gravy and watch my family struggle at the table trying to hold it with a fucking tea towel like 😂😂
She doesn’t like you clearly.
One side is for gravy and the other for custard.

Isn’t that a feminine bed pan / urinal? 👀
Could be worse

Just FYI, this pattern looks to be [Franciscan Desert Rose](https://www.replacements.com/china-franciscan-desert-rose-usa-backstamp-gravy-boat-with-attached-underplate/p/1362281).
Edited to add manufactured from 1941 – 1984.
It’s for couples, take turns sipping gravy while snogging
Trolling in 1940s
Those aren’t spouts, they’re handles, so you can pick it up with both hands and drink the gravy straight from the bowl. At least that’s how I do it.
One side is a spout and the other is a nest for the little ladle. There is a difference.
Ah, the old gravy canoe.
nice. I’d love that in my bin bag
