Baking Dish: Ashley Ceramics Flan, Viola Odorata

Vintage Ashley Ceramics Viola Odorata Flan Baking Dish.

A functional vintage ceramic baking dish featuring integrated tab handles on opposite sides.

The centre is detailed with an accurate botanical transfer print of a sweet violet plant (Viola odorata), displaying deep purple petals, green heart-shaped leaves, and a detailed root structure against a clean white ground.

Ashley Ceramics built a niche market in England by combining high-durability ovenware clays with fine, detailed botanical prints inspired by historical 18th-century European herbal texts. The backstamp indicates advanced thermal resistance capabilities designed for modern kitchen transitions, safely handling freezing temperatures, microwave use, and high-heat conventional ovens.

Original Intended Use: Baking savoury tarts, sweet fruit flans, or serving warm roasted side dishes.
