Large Duncan Miller gravy boat in Dover

Scarce elegant Depression blown glass sauce bowl.

Rarely seen  gravy boat by Duncan Miller in the Dover pattern.

Made in the 1930s to 1940s.  Beautiful glass made during the Depression years for elegant tables.

Large - weighs 2.5 lbs. Measures 8.25" long from handle to spout, 5.25" tall to tip of handle, 4.5" tall to tip of spout. Big foot insures stability at the table.  Large handle for ease of pouring.  Always use two hands to serve from this big gravy boat because it is heavy and the handle is glass.  Put one hand on the handle the other hand cradling the vessel just below the spout.

The handle was blown and stretched and applied to the vessel. It is strong, with no stress cracks. The vessel was hand-blown from mold and hand-tooled at the spout.  The foot is supported by a large wafer (Dover).

In excellent condition with a medium band of bottom-wear.  The glass is cased.  The red is encased in a layer of clear glass.  In images 2 & 6 you can see the edge lightens to red-orange and then to clear.  This is a result of reheating and tooling the ruby glass during the creation of the gravy boat.
