This is a great serving bowl for side dished, vegetables and our favorite, mashed potatoes. It is glazed in the colors of the deep ocean, with carving around the bottom to give the glaze decorative depth and would make a wonderful addition to any table setting. Sizes vary slightly because everything is hand made, but are generally 7 1/4 inches in width and 3 3/4 inches in height. This piece, not only can you bake with it in the oven, it also goes in the microwave and dishwasher, plus the glazes do not contain either lead or barium.
