This pottery garlic grater allows you make and serve garlic-infused olive oil in one dish. Press a peeled clove of garlic back and forth on the ridges in the middle of the bowl to form a paste. Then add olive oil and pepper, salt and other spices to taste. Now set it on the table with some crusty bread to dip in and soak up the tasty oil. Yum!
The dish is 5 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch deep.
I made this small dish on the potter's wheel in my Virginia studio. While the clay was still wet, I used a serrated metal rib to create the ridged design in the center. It is glazed in my favorite blue glaze: a great complement to any decor!
The ceramic grating bowl is signed on the bottom. Makes a great housewarming present.
