The Year of the Dog- those who were born in 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, or 2018  are born under this Chinese Zodiac sign. Those born in these years are said to be lovely, honest and prudent. This bowl ships with a pair of reusable chopsticks as pictured. Created in my New Jersey studio from stoneware clay. Measures 5 x 4 and holds 20 ounces. Made from lead free, eco friendly materials- kiln fired twice to 1900 degrees. Safe to place in the dishwasher and microwave. Made to be used and enjoyed. Unique milestone birthday gift.
