Blackened Terracotta Rectangular Baking Dish 37 cm

Key measurements for finding the right location:

• Dimensions: 37 x 28 cm
• Height: 15 cm
• Weight: 3.0 kg

All you need to know about the material:

• Material: terracotta blackened by smoking, unglazed
• Hand-formed, uneven rounded corners and slightly wavy edge
• Two handles pinched into the wall, extending the rim
• Large iridescent copper and dark blue areas left by the smoke
• Dimensions 37 x 28 cm, height 15 cm, 3.0 kg, complete meal for six
• Designated as oven dish by manufacturer, hand wash only

A black dish of this size never disappears on a table; it becomes the backdrop against which everything stands out: roasted peppers, a shoulder of lamb, or a golden gratin emerge as if on a slate. It's the piece that eliminates the need for plating, as you serve directly from it.

What you need to know for installation and maintenance:

• Place in a cold oven or heat gradually; sudden thermal shock can cause the corners to warp
• Never place a hot dish directly on a stone surface
• Avoid direct contact with the hob
• Clean by hand with lukewarm water, without using harsh cleaners that could dull the iridescence
