This functional pottery cream and sugar set is made for entertaining. It is not the dainty little set your grandma had that would need refilling after two of your guests used it. This holds enough cream for several cups of coffee or tea, giving you more time to enjoy your company. You could also use the cream jug for gravy or sauces if you were serving 2-4 people. Remember it is oven, microwave and dishwasher safe so go ahead and think outside the box.
