Le Creuset Volcanic Orange Stoneware Pie Dish

At 3.5 cm deep and 25 cm wide, this Le Creuset volcanic orange stoneware pie dish, with its cream interior, shallow baking form, and beaded rim detail, has the quality of construction and the iconic colour that have made Le Creuset one of the most recognised and collected kitchenware brands in the world, the volcanic orange finish giving the piece a warmth and visual presence on the kitchen shelf that few other kitchenware colours can match.

Made by Le Creuset, the French cookware company founded in 1925 in Fresnoy-le-Grand in northern France, this pie dish is an example of the stoneware bakeware that the company produces alongside its more widely known cast iron range. Le Creuset's stoneware, which is fired at high temperatures to produce a dense, chip-resistant body with excellent heat retention and distribution properties, is designed for both oven use and table presentation, and the volcanic orange finish, which is one of the company's most iconic and enduring colours, gives the pie dish a decorative quality that makes it as suited to display on an open shelf as to use in the oven. The beaded rim detail, which adds a note of formal elegance to the practical form, and the cream interior, which provides a neutral ground for the food being baked, complete the piece with the attention to detail that characterises Le Creuset's approach to kitchenware design. The piece is in very good condition throughout.
