The perfect way to grate a small amount of garlic or ginger - just scrape a fresh clove over the rough surface of the bottom of the bowl. Add herbs, olive oil or balsamic vinegar and you've got instant bread dip or salad dressing! Made of durable stoneware, the 5.5"grater dish is adorned with a blue/breen glaze and a hand-painted olive branch motif. Lead-free, food-safe, and safe for the microwave and dishwasher. Individually handcrafted in Pennsylvania.
