Ceramic spoon rest reads Nosh, the Yiddish word for a bite to eat. Handmade ceramic spoonrest that I have created from stoneware clay kiln fired three times to over 1900 degrees. This spoon rest is safe to place in both your dishwasher and microwave. It is made from 100% lead free, non toxic materials. It measures 5 x 1. Made to be used and enjoyed! Great hostess or hosting gift, Judaica, jewish home.
