Description:
Circa 1938-1944: Large Version— The large lidded casserole was the first piece designed for the fiesta Kitchen Kraft line. Part of Homer Laughlin's OvenWare line, the oven-to-table dinnerware was an importnat part of the vintage kitchen. Released at the beginning of 1938 in the four fiesta Kitchen Kraft colors of yellow, red, green and blue. The lids knobs were finished by hand work with the space under the knob being shaped and formed individually with hand tools. This is the LARGER version with a dish diameter at approximately 8 and 5/8 as opposed to the medium size which is under 8" in diameter.
This example is in VERY GOOD condition showing little use and no cracks or chips. The only glaze flaws would be the "pin marks" where it sat on the drying rack at the factory when being glazed.
In over a decade of collecting, we have NEVER seen the large version, in red, with this EXTREMELY RARE version of the metal cradle with GORGEOUS butterscotch Bakelite handles in perfect condition. This piece is for the advanced collector and would display beautifully.
Please see photos for condition and decide for yourself as all sales are final.
