The Year of the Snake- those who were born in 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001 or 2013 are born under this Chinese Zodiac sign. Those born in these years are said to be enigmatic, intelligent, and wise. 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.
