Did you Know?

The specialized opal glass material (known as borosilicate glass) was tempered to ensure maximum structural strength, allowing it to withstand high baking temperatures while maintaining a beautiful, polished glow.

This specific range features a distinct manufacturing signature: the base and lid frequently carry embedded natural carbon micro-specks from the original high-heat European factory kiln moulds, verifying its authentic 20th-century production heritage.
Origin & Era

Made in France, 1970s.
Dimensions

Approximate Dimensions: Height 14.5cm (including knob), Length 25cm (outer rim), Width 25 cm, Volume 2.8L.
Vintage Condition

Excellent vintage condition showcasing superb structural integrity and glossy sheen.

Visible Flaws: Minor age-related wear. Accurate inspection shows several inherent, factory-embedded dark carbon micro-specks and tiny iron spots fused directly within the ribbed glass matrix during the original 1970s manufacturing process. These are completely smooth to the touch, permanent marks of historical production rather than post-factory damage. The glass surface exhibits exceptionally light shelf-wear rubs on the bottom ring, with zero chips, cracks, or fleabites.
