This beautiful heart shaped trivet can be hung on the wall or displayed on a plate stand. It is 9" x 8", so it is large enough to accommodate most all dishes, pots and pans. Have fun with the personalization like "Sue's Cluttered Kitchen", or commemorate an anniversary with something like "The Andersons Est.: 1968". It made from vitreous stoneware so it can be hung outside in frigid conditions and it will not fracture.
