French Home Stoneware Olive Dish, 6 x 5", Distressed White

A bit disappointed. I bought this as a "stocking stuffer" for olive-loving friends. It is smaller than expected. I really don't understand the middle-sized area. I assume the large area is for olives, the small for the pits, but if you tried to serve olives in the middle-sized, you'd be lucky to have it contain, maybe six. Presumably you would use this dish for a gathering (as compared to sitting on the couch by yourself watching a movie), and half a dozen olives (also presumably of a different variety than the large area) seems like a joke for even 2-3 people. Nonetheless, I decided it would cost about as much to return it, so I'm going to give it anyway. I'll be interested to see what my friends do with it.
