We love the piggy canister set seen on Food Network’s “Down Home with the Neelys” so much, we were inspired to come up with some piggies of our own. Our charming “Lil’ Piggy” Ceramic Measuring Cup Set (who we have affectionately named Bakin’) includes 1/4-cup, 1/3-cup, and 1/2-cup measure that conveniently nest in Bakin’s body, which is a 1-cup measure. The lid is little Bakin’s cute face, with long-lashed eyes blissfully closed over her sweet stub nose (reveling in the smell of freshly baked cookies, no doubt). Asymmetrical, folding ears add character while providing a functional grip for lifting the lid, and an endearing curly tail adorns Bakin’s back. Hand-finishing gives each of the Lil’ Piggies a vintage, artisanal feel, such as the detailed script that label each measuring cup and the adorable piggy decal in the base of 1/4-cup measure. This exclusive set is perfect for any baking or measuring need and, of course, Bakin’ is happiest when in the company of the rest of her family, the 3-pc. Ceramic Lil’ Piggy Canister Set (a.k.a. Dad, Orson; Mom, Pearl; and big brother, Jr.).

The Lil Piggy Measuring Cup Set is not only perfect for your own kitchen, it'll also make a fabulous gift for any lover of animals and baking. The soft pink hue captures the radiance of a newborn piglet perfectly. If you've ever been in the presence of a precious newborn piggy, we're sure this set will channel those nostalgic moments and make you squeal with delight.

Each of the cups nests within the next one that's larger in size. You'll never have to worry about finding misplaced measuring cups, because these babies remain safe in Bakin's belly. Even if you're not a baker, this delightful pig is still ready to amuse and entertain.

You can strategically place him atop of any nook in your kitchen without ever actually using him to cook. He's perfectly content to sit and be admired by any passersby. He also has the power to inspire. You may declare yourself a wreck of a chef, and assume that pots and pans will explode in your kitchen. However, spending a few days with such a pig as a house guest may eventually ignite plumes of jealousy. After all, if a pig can bake, surely you can as well!

When giving this piggy as a gift, consider bundling him up with other piglet accessories, such as piggy kitchen towels and a decorative sign to hang on your kitchen wall. What's amazing about this ceramic set, is that it's an instant eye catcher. It commands attention, and inspires the inner decorative spirit.
