This is a gorgeous piece, a ceramic jar with a lovely floral pattern and a silver lid. The lid itself is also decorated with an engraved design. It's perfect for holding jam, sugar, butter, or other similar items. The metal has been treated to prevent discoloration. I bought it at a shop because I thought it was beautiful, but I've never used it. The silver dish is 14 cm in diameter, the opening of the jar is 8 cm, and it's 5 cm high. It will add a touch of elegance just by placing it on your dining table. I'm also including 5 spoons as a bonus. I highly recommend it.
