The Story
A beautiful example of hand-thrown studio pottery from the late Mid-Century era, this casserole dish embodies a relaxed, organic aesthetic. With its soft, earthy tones and abstract salt-glazed design, it reflects the shift toward "honest" craft and tactile materials seen in the 1960s and 70s. This piece is as much a decorative object as it is a piece of functional serveware.
The Details
Dimensions: 21cm Diameter x 9cm H.
Format: Large hand-thrown dish with a matching lid.
Era: Circa 1960s - 1970s.
Finish: Satin-matte glazed top with an unglazed, tactile base.
Condition: Perfect vintage condition with minimal to no signs of previous use. Reassuringly heavy and well-made.
Why It’s Special
Studio pottery from this period is celebrated for its individuality; because it is hand-thrown, no two pieces are ever identical. The salt-glaze technique used here creates a unique, pitted "orange-peel" texture and abstract color variations that vary depending on where the piece sat in the kiln. It perfectly suits the "Modern Rustic" or "Minimalist Farmhouse" look.
Styling Tips
Oven-to-Table Serving: Use this to serve warm, rustic dishes like stews, root vegetable gratins, or even fresh sourdough. The heavy stoneware retains heat well, keeping food warm throughout a meal.
Kitchen Counter Decor: When not in use, display it on an open shelf or kitchen island. Its earthy palette and unglazed base pair beautifully with natural wood surfaces and dried herbs.
Earthy Vignette: Combine it with other natural textures - think linen napkins, wooden serving spoons, and hand-forged metalware - to create a cohesive, artisanal table setting.
