These are what we call our Home Decor option. What does that mean?. It means that these are not guaranteed to be candle ready. Now that does not mean that they may not. We cannot guarantee that they will be candle ready. Keep that in mind when you buy. We do have the candle ready bowls listed as well separately. Pinholes, knicks and knots are common with these home decor bowls. Hand carved, these rustic wooden French Baguette dough bowls (bateas) are solid and great looking. We carry three sizes on this style of bread bowl. This is the small size. They measure about 5-6" wide x 19-20" long. The depth on these beautiful bowls is about 2-2.5 inches. ​ Small Bread Bowl-Baguette Bowl- 9 Color Choices Size- May vary a bit as each is handmade +-1 inch 6 inches wide 20 inches Long 2 inches deep NOTE: Our Bowls are not sprayed with fire retardant.
