About:

A timeless example of classic Australian kitchenware, this Bendigo Pottery lidded casserole dish features the rich iron-brown glaze and distinctive beaded band detail synonymous with the maker’s mid-century production. 

This incredible dish is made for slow cooking and generous family meals, as Bendigo Pottery pieces were prized for their durability and honest craftsmanship, which made them long lasting, and able to house any number of fantastic dishes for familial or more intimate dinner settings. 

Today, pieces such as this remain equally appealing as a functional oven dish or as a rustic display piece that speaks to Australia’s domestic ceramic heritage, and could be made to suit any home or kitchen environment.

*Suitable for oven use. As with all vintage ceramics, avoid sudden temperature changes.
