Enameled stoneware shallow casserole dish, blue-green, 25 cm

Key measurements for finding the right spot:

• Diameter: 25 cm
• Height with lid: 8.5 cm
• Weight: 1.20 kg

All you need to know about the material:

• Material: stoneware covered with a bluish-green glaze
• Dark green glaze in the hollows, milky turquoise crystallized on the convex areas
• Gold trim on the rim of the handles and lid, where the layer thins out
• Variations formed during firing, no two pieces are identical
• Two short pinched handles, domed lid with flattened knob
• Diameter 25 cm, height 8.5 cm including lid, 1.20 kg
• No oven or dishwasher compatibility documented by the manufacturer

This is exactly the kind of color that keeps a dish on the table instead of sending it back to the kitchen: this deep green highlights light-colored dishes and pairs well with raw wood as well as white earthenware. The low and wide format also allows the contents to be seen, which a high casserole dish never permits.

What you need to know for installation and maintenance:

• Soft sponge and warm water; soak rather than scrub
• No abrasive sponges, as they leave grey marks on the crystallized enamel
• Handle the gold rim on the edges with care, as it's thinner and thus more fragile
• Do not slide the lid over the body when replacing it
