Measuring nearly 6 inches high, it is 3 1/2 inches across the top. It has a 1 1/2-inch lip. It is 6 inches long from the end of the lip to the end of the handle. The top is distinguished by a near diamond shape between the lip and the handle.<p>

This will make a great addition to a Niloak Pottery collection!<p>
