Finally, a unique solution to that age old problem of what to do with the pit after the olive has been consumed. The unique design of this set comprises a serving dish sitting on top of a larger collection bowl, curved outwards in three places to allow the disposal of what's left-over be it shells, pits or pods. While a perfect party accessory, Big Spoon uses hers to collect the pistachio shells which used wind up in whatever tiny collection vessels she could find sitting in front of the TV. Works great to collect edamame shells, and for cherries too. Dishwasher safe. 100% melamine. Comes in white/green or white/grey. Serving bowl is 5 1/4 inches, refuse bowl 7 inches; nesting set about 3 inches H. Green & Green not shown.
