| Geoffrey Twistlebotham July 26, 2006 02:20 PM PDT You might like to know that the gravy boat was originally the size of a large canoe, and it was used to transport gravy from the mainland to Alcatraz prison. The gravy could only be made away from the prison due to an ingredient that, if in the wrong hands, could be used for purposes other than gravy making thus, the example so splendidly displayed on this page is simply the smaller descendant of a one time army of such things. If you have found this interesting, please look up my website - www.geoffreytwistlebothamgravyboatsandbeyond.com thank you | ||

| A Slavetontheinterne July 22, 2006 10:28 AM PDT Although a fairly common design, this particular GB was made in Wiltshire during the war years 1940-45 when clay production stopped in the Potteries due to all their clay being used for the war effort. There was enormous demand for extra tea to see off Hitler's massed ranks. Therefore, the actual clay is somewhat inferior to Potteries clay, but the item itself is quite rare due to the area it was produced in, Devizes to be precise. What you have there young man, is a piece of history and should be treasured or even better, displayed in a museum. There is a museum in Scotland, The Trossocks I think, which would be perfect. It is The Museum Of World War 2 Pottery Made Outside The Potteries. They would be most grateful for a call as this GB would grace their soon to be opened World War 2 Pottery Made Outside The Potteries Gravy Boat Room. Hope this was helpful. | ||
