I like to have seasonal or holiday spoon rests on my stove. Right now I have a dark red with imprinted deer on it but I had nothing for Thanksgiving so usually left a generic one there... Thanx so much for the nice pumpkin version! Tho' it's marketed as a small bowl it's the perfect size for my spoon rest and will be put to good use next fall! IF it had been glazed it would have been a perfect 5!
