Perfect size dish for the little extras when throwing a party or for dips and even personal desserts! This is high quality stoneware with a weight that is like no other stoneware I've seen.  Le creuset's quality is unsurpassed and I'm pleasantly surprised because the quality makes this stoneware the first I reach for when cooking and entertaining - the gorgeous colors help too!!  Also, Le creuset is always the cheapest when purchasing through a Wayfair sale - still have yet to find it cheaper!!
