Our small square dishes are hand-wrought in our backyard forge from reclaimed steel plate stock. They're finished with mineral oil. These dishes are perfect for holding keys, jewelry, and other small trinkets, or as a featured work of art on a table or shelf. Pictures are samples from our handmade stock. Items are made to order, so there will be some discrepancies in markings and shape - but the same techniques are used across the board. What you see here is just about what you'll get. Order includes: 1 small (approx. 6" diameter) dish - square Questions? Just ask!
