his versatile rectangular baking dish and serving bowl made from Polish Pottery from Bolesławiec by Ceramika Artystyczna combines practical everyday use in the kitchen with an attractive presentation directly on the dining table.
The dish measures approx. 24.5 × 19 cm, has a height of approx. 4.8 cm, weighs approx. 1 kg, and holds approx. 1.5 l / 1500 ml of water when filled to overflow.

The dish is particularly suitable for lasagna, cannelloni, casseroles, gratins, roasts, meat dishes, fish, vegetables, potatoes, bread, focaccia, savoury baked dishes and desserts.
One of the special advantages of Polish Pottery from Bolesławiec is the combination of preparation and presentation. Once the food is ready, the dish can be placed directly on the table and becomes part of the table setting.
