"The perfect gift. Hand made, glazed, kiln fired and ready to place in your home. Dishwasher, microwave and food safe glazes.
Measurement: All ornaments have at least one maximum dimension of 5 inches. The other dimensions are smaller than 5 inches (dimensions vary by state shape).
These ornaments are made in stages. They begin as a stoneware clay slab. A state shape cookie cutter is used to make the design. Real sand texture is added to the bottom of each ornament. They are bisque fired in a kiln, then glazed. Again to go through the kiln and fired a second time to a higher temp so the glaze will mature. It takes approximately another 24 hours to cool.
ALL ornaments come in a square 5.5 x 5.5 inch gift box."
