Understanding Our Pottery Sizes

We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. Since pottery can sometimes appear larger in photos than in real life, we've created this guide to help you understand the actual dimensions of our products.

How to Read Our Dimensions

For all products, dimensions are listed as:

  • Height × Diameter/Width (in inches)

For example, a bowl listed as "3 × 5.75" means it is 3 inches tall and 5.75 inches in diameter at its widest point.

Size Before You Buy

Before making your purchase, we strongly recommend comparing our dimensions with everyday objects or using a tape measure to visualize the actual size of the pottery piece you're interested in. For example, a 6-inch bowl is roughly the size of a standard cereal bowl, while a 10-inch platter is comparable to a dinner plate. This simple step will ensure you're completely satisfied with your selection, as all sales are final.
