This large oval baking dish and serving bowl in Polish Pottery by Ceramika Artystyczna combines everyday practicality, traditional craftsmanship and a beautifully decorative appearance.

The external dimensions are approx. 27 × 19 cm, the height is approx. 5.6 cm, the weight approx. 1.05 kg, and the maximum water capacity up to overflow is approx. 1.5 litres.

The base measures approx. 22.5 × 14 cm, giving the dish a stable position on the kitchen worktop, dining table or buffet table.

This shape is available in 5 different sizes, and this version is the third largest in the series.

It is a particularly practical size, offering a very good balance between generous capacity and comfortable handling.

The dish can be used not only as a classic baking dish, but also as a serving bowl, salad bowl, fruit bowl, bread bowl, buffet dish and decorative container.

A major advantage of this beautiful ceramic dish is that food can be prepared and then served in the same piece.

Lasagne, potato gratin, vegetables, meat dishes or desserts do not need to be transferred into another serving dish after cooking.

The attractive Polish Pottery can be placed directly on the table, making the baking dish itself part of the table setting.
