Know before you buy
Yes, this dish is crafted from fireproof porcelain specifically designed to withstand high oven temperatures, making it ideal for gratins and casseroles.
While the porcelain is durable, the delicate gold rim requires careful handling. We recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the gold accent and the vintage pattern over time.
No, this piece features a traditional porcelain finish without a synthetic non-stick coating. For best results with sticky ingredients, we recommend lightly greasing the dish before baking.
Since this design does not feature integrated handles, please use sturdy oven mitts and support the base firmly when transferring it from the oven to your table.
We advise against using this dish in the microwave due to the gold rim accent, which contains metallic elements that can spark or damage the finish.
