This is the small Pottery Barn ceramic take out container. It was designed to be used to serve or store food, but can be used to store trinkets or hold pencils, etc. It measures 4 1/4 inches by 3 1/2 inches on top; 3 1/4 inches by 2 3/4 inches at the bottom and is 3 1/4 inches high, not including the lid. The handle can be removed to safely use in the microwave and dishwasher. I also have the medium and large containers listed.
