About:

This beautifully weighty vintage stoneware casserole is a classic example of mid-century functional pottery — made to be used, shared, and enjoyed by large groups or for more private usage. 

The rich brown glaze and earthy terracotta interior speak to a time when kitchenware was built for durability as well as warmth, and would make an excellent display piece to any household. 

With its generous capacity, fitted lid, and sturdy handles, it’s ideal for slow-cooked stews, casseroles, or as a rustic serving piece straight from oven to table. 

This piece serves as a wonderful timeless addition to a country kitchen, farmhouse interior, or vintage cookware collection, or even as a gift for someone.

*As with all vintage stoneware, direct flame use (gas) is not recommended unless specifically marked.
