MEASUREMENTS

4 7/8 in (12.4 cm) long x 3 3/4 in (9.5 cm) wide x 3 3/8 in (8.4 cm) tall. Weighs 9.6 oz (275 g)

CONDITION

There are no breaks or chips to the body. The foot has one spot on the base where the glaze stuck to the kiln and was chipped off, resulting in a small chip and thin raised line. There is also a second small chip on the foot. Other than general crazing, the glaze is in good shape, and there are no stains.

A fun small sized antique food mold for display in the kitchen. The open bottom is a bit unusual.
