Vintage Signed Studio Pottery Covered Casserole, Large Lidded Stoneware Bowl, Cobalt Blue Rust & Tan, Wheel Thrown, 10.25" x 8"

Welcome to MokiandMamaBear!

A generous handmade stoneware casserole with its matching lid, wheel thrown and glazed in a warm speckled oatmeal tan with a bold sweep of cobalt blue and a rust-red stripe running across the lid. Two sturdy side handles make it easy to carry to the table, and the knob-top lid has a hollow center opening.

Signed by the artist on the unglazed base, incised in script. It appears to read "Delaro" (artist unidentified; see photo).

Measurements: 10.25" diameter x 8" tall (including lid)

Condition: Good vintage condition. There is normal crazing in the glaze, seen in the close-up photo, which is typical for stoneware of this age. No chips or cracks noted.

Lovely as a serving piece, a centerpiece on a farmhouse table, or a place to hold fruit, bread or kitchen odds and ends. Because of the crazing, I'd suggest decorative or dry use rather than oven or food prep.
