I have a ceramic one from I can't remember where. It's nice though - hand painted stripes. I put it on top of the bookshelf so I can't see the oily yuckily stained inside bit. I don't think you can get it clean.

Cod, you're singing. Are you OK?

If it's not glazed, the oil will soak in. Live with it grubby Grin

Ever since seeing this thread title I can't stop singing it in my head AARGH (will be there for the rest fo the day- thanks Cod).

As a child I always thought the words were "Who built the ark, no-one, no-one" Blush .
