Ornate Olive Green Garlic Keeper with Squirrel and Lake County Diamond

Description

Ornately designed in olive green with a brown squirrel knob, this unique garlic keeper measures approx. 4 1/2″ wide x 6″ tall from bottom to top of the squirrel’s ears on the lid. It will keep your garlic nicely and can be used as a luminary when the lid is off. Great for roasting single heads of garlic. This art piece holds approx. 2 cups ~ 1-4 large cloves, or more smaller cloves.

Created with white sandy Northern California clay (some from my own farm), the base is wheel thrown, then engraved with a vine and leaf pattern surrounding the base. The lid is hand formed with a hand sculpted little brown squirrel holding raw Lake County Diamonds, making this piece sparkle. Then, everything is hand glazed with our stunning combinations of food safe, oven safe, dishwasher safe glazes.

The raw Lake County Diamond in the squirrels paws are fired directly into the piece. Lake County Diamonds are only found locally and are a treasure from Mt. Konocti, our volcano here in Lake County, CA. Please read more about them on our blog.

-Stoneware fired to over 2200 degrees for durability and ease of use and cleaning. The bottoms are unglazed and feature our maker’s mark.
-Please note that all of our stoneware pottery is hand crafted and no molds are used in the creation of our vessels, so please expect variations in hand applied glaze techniques and shapes. This ensures that your piece(s) are always one of a kind, and priceless.
