I don't understand the measurements on this so I hope there is someone out there better at math than I seem to be.

I've spoken to three different CSR's and sent an email to the Social Team and none of them could find an answer.

Description says, "each measures approximately 16-3/4" x 10-3/4" x 6". I assume 16-3/4" is height and 6" is diameter/width. What is 10-3/4? Are these different heights? Is the bottom 6" diameter and it gets bigger at the top and becomes 10-3/4" diameter? That's almost a 5" difference so I'm not sure that makes sense.  They are all the same size so it's not like they're offering different sizes. The description is very confusing. A square or rectangle is easy to figure out as it's length, height, width but a circle only has height and diameter/width, I think, unless I'm missing something. 

Does anyone have these and/or if so do you know the actual height and width/diameter? Thanks in advance for any replies.

I think the 16-3/4 is incorrect. To me that should read 6-3/4 for the diameter of the top. The bottom would be 6.

Just my observation and that might not be correct either but it makes sense to me....lol!

@Melzie  - you might want to post this question in the Kitchen Forum

@Melzie  Maybe the 16 3/4 is the number of cups or ounces it holds. Chris usually gives this info when talking about any of the pieces.

Looking at the K85502 product photo to me it looks like:

16 3/4 " tall

10 3/4 " all the way around

6" across

Or a typo lol. 

Does this matter so much mathematically or do you like what you see and gather from the propotions?

@LizzieInSRQ 

I think you are correct.

@Melzie,  A thank you for posting this!  I was just looking for something like this set.  I agree, the measurements are a wee bit confusing.  Some websites include "measurement arrows" (I have no idea what the term actually is, so I hope that makes sense🙃😛) next to the product, with the numbers placed there for clarification, to help explain which measurements apply in each direction...  good to avoid any possible confusion in many cases.

Thanks, again, and appreciate all of the replies clearing it up, too.😊

I think you may be right. It does make sense that 16-3/4 could be a typo with the base at 6" and wider at the top at 6-3/4.  The height is important because I could put a 10" high item on a shelf but not a 16" one.  If you think interms of length, height, width (as most people do) the whole description as written is just off.  Thanks for this perspective.

Possibly but this item doesn't even have any video associated with it and the description specfically says inches.  Could be a typo but if it was cups it would say that in the description. Thanks for responding.

Height matters because I have room for something 10" tall but not 16".  It has to be a typo or something and I don't want to order it and then have to send it back and go through that whole process.  There is no video so will just have to wait for more info.  Thanks for responding.
