Charming rustic French Vintage glazed ceramic enameled stoneware oval baking pan. In French this is called "Poelons en terre cuites vernissée" . This lovely piece has a green oval surface and a beige interior. It was traditionally used to cook items that need to be melted like gratin or specially cooked over time like foie gras (duck liver pate). It is designed so that the bottom and sides heat evenly, which helps prevent uneven cooking and scorching.
Stamped on the bottom "C5432" and I don't know the significance of it except it could be the mold number used to create it.
This can be used for cooking or use your imagination as it's great for your unique interior design needs. It has lots of charm!
