Ceramic crock reads: "If you wait long enough to make dinner everyone will just eat cereal." A truthful statement in my own home where tonight's menu probably includes honey nut cheerios. Again. Great gift for a Mom who hates to cook. This is a handmade ceramic crock that I have created from earthenware clay kiln fired three times to over 1900 degrees. This item is made from 100% lead free, non toxic materials.. It measures 6.5 inches tall x 5 inches wide.
