This lot comprises a set of five pieces of Le Creuset glazed stoneware cookware in the signature Flame colourway, featuring a graduated orange-to-red exterior and cream-coloured interior. The collection includes three rectangular baking dishes of varying sizes with integrated side handles and two mini round cocottes with matching circular lids. The lids of the cocottes are embossed with the characters LE CREUSET. The base of the largest rectangular dish is impressed with the numbers 0 6 . 0 5 above an oval containing the characters LE CREUSET followed by a registered trademark symbol ®. A capital letter I is impressed to the right of the oval, and a further small, rectangular mark is located directly below, though the characters within it are not legible. The rectangular dishes feature traditional ridged handles, while the cocottes are fitted with two loop handles and a circular knob finial.
Condition report:
The set is in used condition. The cream-coloured interior of the largest rectangular baking dish shows visible dark spotting and surface staining (photo 2). The unglazed stoneware bases of the rectangular pieces exhibit significant shelf wear, including dark scuff marks and surface discolouration (photo 4). The glazed exterior surfaces and the smaller cocottes appear to be in good condition, showing typical light signs of use but no obvious chips or cracks visible in the photographs.
