This set provides a stylish way to offer guests dips, salads, and compotes that need to remain cool or warm with style and sophistication. Just fill the bottom container with ice and top the ramekin with whatever you're serving, then set the ramekin atop the container. The ice keeps the serving chilled and fresh for longer than you might imagine. You can also pour hot water into the bottom to keep melted butter or fondue dips smooth and creamy. The set is designed for dips, but also excellent for serving fresh fruit, ice cream, or salads. 8 oz. ramekin, 4 1/2" high.
