The witch of the stove is an ancient folklore character that has been passed down through generations. She is often portrayed as a old, hunched woman with a crooked nose and warts on her face. The main idea of this folklore is that the witch of the stove has the power to curse or bless the food that is cooked on her stove. According to the legend, the witch of the stove lives inside the stove and watches over the cooking process. If she is pleased with the cook, she will bless the food and ensure that it turns out delicious and satisfying. However, if she is displeased with the cook, she will curse the food, making it taste awful and causing the people who eat it to have stomachaches and other digestive problems.

Where it's made
Our stoneware is made in China where they’ve been perfecting this technology for three thousand years. Stoneware beats porcelain for large objects and items with lids because it shrinks less in the kiln and retains its true dimensions much better. The glazed stoneware of our Kitchen Witch Canisters and Vigilant-Dragons Cookie Jar is made of high-quality, non-porous ceramic clay heated to an extremely high temperatures. Dense, impermeable, and hard enough to resist scratching, it is also capable of displaying colors with great vibrancy.
