A fun handmade two-piece dip serving set from Hot Fresco Pottery of Hollister, Missouri, featuring the playful hand-lettered phrase “Thou Shalt Not Double-Dip” around the rim. The warm cream and beige glaze and textured pottery body give the set a rustic handcrafted appearance.

The set consists of the outer crock and the removable dip bowl that sits on top, creating a clever serving system for entertaining. Measuring approximately 4.5 inches tall when assembled, it is both a useful serving piece and a wonderfully humorous addition to a kitchen or party table.

Both pieces are included.

Maker Marks

The original Hot Fresco Pottery label remains attached to the base and identifies the pottery as handmade in Hollister, Missouri. The label states that the pottery is lead-free and dishwasher, oven, and microwave safe.

Hot Fresco Pottery was associated with Mitch Yung Ceramic Design, Inc., which registered the Hot Fresco Pottery name for pottery designed to keep dips chilled using a separate bowl and ice-holding base.

Condition

Pre-owned handmade pottery condition with signs of previous use and storage. Fine glaze crazing is visible, particularly around the lower portion of the pottery.

There are irregular areas along the lower edge consistent with the handcrafted character and firing process. Please review the close-up photos for these areas and the overall condition.

No cracks are apparent. Both the outer crock and removable dip bowl are included.

History

Hot Fresco Pottery produced handmade pottery in Hollister, Missouri. Its dip serving pieces used a two-piece design consisting of an outer crock and removable serving bowl, allowing the dip to be served while the base helped maintain its temperature.

The humorous “Thou Shalt Not Double-Dip” decoration makes this an especially fun example of American handmade serving pottery for entertaining, parties, or kitchen display.
