I love this little ceramic tomato. I know it is functional bakeware/serviceware but I keep it out as part of my decor. It adds some bright wimsey to my apartment. I actually use it to store my plant food for my indoor plants. Just like all Staub products it is expertly maid with a lot of attention to detail. The shape of the Brandywine tomato with all the characteristic curves and folds are there along with the perfect little stem.
