Length 16, Width 7, Height 5 and Capacity 24oz (filled comfortably without overflowing). The fire or candles in the bottom keep the food hot and makes an incredibly impressive dish. The bottom can be filled with solid fuel (like Sterno), tea candles, or, as in Thailand if you are outside, burning ambers. The set includes the fish-shaped pot, the bottom fire box, and a wood base.
