One legend has it that President Thomas Jefferson invented the lazy Susan for his young daughter to serve herself at the dinner table, and coincidentally, her name was Susan too. Another legend predates this piece to a hundred years before Thomas Jefferson and takes the place of waiters in the dining room – earning the title dumbwaiter. Regardless of where or when they were invented, lazy Susan’s are still versatile kitchen tools. Use them in a cabinet to make spices more easily accessible, put them at the center of your dining table for guests to serve themselves, or use them in the kitchen to help decorate a cake. This one, for example, is crafted from stoneware, in a matte finish, and is warp-resistant.
