It measures 5.5 inches (14 cms) across at the handles, and 2.25 inches (5.7 cms) in height. It is in excellent condition, especially for its age, with no cracks, no restoration, some of the normal manufacturing flaws in the glaze, and glaze wear on the top and bottom edges consistent with its age, which in my opinion, only add to its charm and authenticity. In thirty years of collecting Quimper, this is the only bottle coaster of this configuration that I have ever seen, and so it will be a beautifully unique addition to any collection!       Place a Bid!
