The Year of the Rat- those who were born in 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008 and 2020 are born under this Chinese Zodiac sign. Those born in these years are said to be quick witted, resourceful, versatile and kind. 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.
