Measurements to check before ordering, including those of your oven:

• Length: 37 cm
• Width: 28 cm
• Height: 7.5 cm
• Weight: 3 kg empty
• Package: 43 x 44 x 16 cm

What earth and fire have left behind:

• Material: blackened terracotta
• Matte black surface, iridescent patches of copper, bronze, and dark blue
• Walls slanting outwards, slightly wavy rim
• Two lug handles extending from the rim
• Fine network of cracks on the surface
• Hand-shaped: firing marks vary from one piece to another

Matte black serves as a neutral background, making everything placed upon it stand out, from roasted vegetables to a nicely browned gratin. The dish goes straight from the oven to the table without the need for decanting, simplifying family meals just as much as dinner with friends, and it can be used once empty, filled with fruit or a loaf of bread on a sideboard. Its raw material pairs perfectly with wood, dark linen, matte stoneware, and brass.

What it is used for and how to handle it:

• Designed as a roasting dish
• Capacity: two whole fish with their garnish, a roast, a gratin for the whole table
• Wide handles, to be gripped fully with oven mitts
• Check the width of your oven
• Can be served directly at the table, without transferring
