I just ordered an additional one of these; After constantly chipping the edges of Ceramic spoon holders I looked for Porcelain ( its stronger then Ceramic)... I also found this Marble one, when it arrived it was in a small box, i had no idea what I ordered that would come in a heavy, well sealed box, not only was it expertly boxed in a way that it could not break even if thrown off a cliff, this product was larger and better then I could have imagined thats why I just ordered one more. Funny story: The outer box this came in also had 2 other items and directly on top was a 4oz flat bag of dried chives, yea you know what happened; I slit open the box and cut right thru the bag of chives, Typical packaging. Dont laugh too hard, I did.
