First of all this dutch oven is not only aesthetically pleasing to look at but highly functional. Perfect size for me and my husband . This is the second pumpkin Dutch Oven I've purchased. One was given as a gift to my beloved daughterwho has courageously fought breat canceris winning the battle. She loves Halloween  as do myself and my Halloween birthday  husband. Stellar quality product.Looks beautiful and cooks meal very well. I might get an extra one for a Christmas  gift to my sister. You won't be disappointed!
