A new report was published claiming that actual, old fashioned incense was the very best way to clear a kitchen of lingering cooking smells.  We immediately put a tiny hole into our olive dish to hold an ordinary incense stick.  The tiny hole does not pierce the dish so it can still be used to display olives, nuts, strawberries, cheese cubes, etc.. without dripping.  This narrow piece would make a great little present, especially accompanied by a favourite incense or jar of olives.  Or why not both?  Another useful piece of Nicholas Mosse pottery! The Old Rose Pattern is a firm fan favourite, and the striking design makes it easy to see why! Measurements: 26.5cm xl x 5cm w x 2cm h (6.5"l x 2"w x .75" h) ** This item is not sold with an Incense stick.
