This Large Utensil Crock in Black Onyx looks in the photo like it will be taller than it is wide. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The crock, although beautiful, is too short. It is plenty wide, to hold many utensils. But it is so short (6 inches) that some of my Le Creuset utensils lay more at a sideways angle than upright, because the sides of the crock should be taller, like they are in the photo.

The photo is misleading. Amazon or Le Creuset should replace it with a photo of the actual item. Perhaps this is an older version of the item, but the proportions are clearly off.

Also, I would have preferred it if the interior of the crock were also black. It is beige.

The crock is beautifully made, but I may look at returning this and replacing it with one of the Le Creuset canisters, which could be used without the lid. The Black Onyx color is lovely and goes beautifully with my new Le Creuset Black Onyx utensils. They are mostly leaning against one side, as it would take a huge number of utensils to fill up this crock. To be more functional, the crock needs to be taller and less wide.

This utensil crock is just the right size to hold a whole slug of your kitchen utensils that are taking up too much drawer space. It is about six inches in diameter around the top, so it may be larger than many utensil holders. I find the size to be just right: holds a reasonable amount and isn't too bulky on the counter. The outside is black and glossy (the picture makes it look as if it may have a matte finish, but that is not the case), and the inside is a light beige or sand color. Normally it is hard to find the black Le Creuset as many of the black items are exclusive to Bloomingdales. The works for both tall and medium length utensils.

I'm sooo glad Amazon sent me a link to review this product!

It would have been wonderful if the crock shown and described was the item I received. When I selected this item it was placed in my shopping cart as a totally different crock. This is copied from my account: Items Ordered 1 of: Le Creuset Large Utensil Crock, Black Onyx [Kitchen] Condition: New Sold by: Amazon.com, LLC $26.90. I had no idea when I placed the order that I purchased the Large Utensil Crock and not the 2 3/4-quart that was pictured and described. When I received the wrong crock I went back into my account and saw that the Large Utensil crock was listed. I was totally baffled since I never even viewed this item - I clicked on the link and it brought up the picture and description of the 2 3/4-quart crock.....the item that I had intended on purchasing. Something within the Amazon network is totally screwed up.

I did not return the crock because it was a Christmas present. There was not enough time to receive the correct item and in the end she was happy with the gift. I notified Amazon of the situation, but since no one acknowledged my email, or review of seller I have no idea if it was in fact "fixed". So, buyer beware when it comes to purchasing this crock from Amazon - you might not get the correct item.

I found the size and heft of this crock to be perfect for storing all my kitchen utensils and gadgets. The weight of the crock is perfect too. The only issue I have is with the color/finish. I chose the Black Onyx specifically because the photo showed it to have a matte finish, but when it arrived the finish was glossy. If I had known this I would have picked another color. I was just partial to the matte finish, so this was somewhat disappointing and misleading. Otherwise, really good crock overall.

This is a beautiful crock, bigger than the picture looks! It is heavy-duty and very nice quality! It looks beautiful on my countertop! I have 11 total spatulas and whisks in mine and plenty of room for more items!

Crock is beautiful and holds a lot, but the color is not a matte black as the photo shows, it was a gloss black and i was a little disappointed with that. Otherwise a good product, very heavy so it doesn't move around!

Just recieved this is today. I love the shiny, black color as it matches my appliances. It is a bit shorter than anticipated...but I have so many utensils that I used all the space so my utensils stay erect without slouching. It has a good weight and a nice classic look. The picture posted does this no justice. My only change would be to make this a bit taller.

This is a great product for any serious cook who has more kitchen gadgets than anyone thought possible. I bought the black crock to match my kitchen appliances and since receiving it, I've ordered four more, in various colors, to give as gifts.
The Amazon.com current "four for three" offer made them an even better buy and I know that four of my friends will find happiness with their additional kitchen drawer this product has made available to them!

Shorter, shiny black with beige interior. I should have read the other reviews before ordering. Not even close.

I made sure to read a lot of reviews before purchasing, even at a really good deal. Based on the review, and I agree with many, this Crock is shiny and a lot shorter than it appears in the image. I still love it! As it is shorter, it is also wider, keep that in mind if you do not have a ton of counter space. Most of us have too many untensils anyway, a wider crock should be a benefit.
