Burnt Cinnamon Red Garlic Keeper with Metallic Squirrel Knob and Lake County Diamond

Description

Glazed in a rich, burnt cinnamon red, this gorgeous garlic keeper measures approx. 4 1/4″ wide x 5 1/4″ tall from bottom to top of the squirrel’s ears on the lid. It will keep your garlic nicely and can be used for other treasures, too ~ even a luminary when the lid is off. Great for roasting single heads of garlic. A smaller keeper, this piece holds approx. 1 1/2 cups ~ 1-3 large cloves, or more smaller cloves.

Created from white sandy Northern California clay (some from my own farm), the base is wheel thrown and impressed with a vine and leaf detail surrounding the base. The beautifully styled lid is hand formed with pine bough impressions surrounding a hand sculpted metallic squirrel. Then, everything is hand glazed with food safe, oven safe, dishwasher safe glazes. Please do not put this piece in the microwave.

The glazes on this piece are simply gorgeous! To add interest and a touch of uniquely native sparkle, I’ve fired a raw Lake County Diamond into the squirrel’s paws. You can read more about Lake County Diamonds on this site’s blog.
