This "Poe some sugar on me" sugar bowl is a great gift for any writer, reader, teacher, librarian or bibliophile...they'll be Raven! Ok, but seriously...it's bone china, made New Jersey, kiln fired to over 1900 degrees, and the design is applied in glaze. Safe to place in the dishwasher, made to be used and enjoyed. Without the lid, the jar part measures 3.125" diameter x 2.75" tall inches, with lid the height is 3.75 inches. Roughly the size of a baseball or small apple.
