CorningWare Casserole Dish with L'Echalote La Marjolaine Pattern

This is a vintage CorningWare casserole dish with a clear glass lid. The oval-shaped dish is made of white ceramic-like material that is characteristic of CorningWare's Pyroceram. It features a decorative transfer print encircling the body, depicting a variety of vegetables and herbs in shades of green, orange, brown, and yellow. Below the decorative band, the French phrase "L'Echalote La Marjolaine," which translates to "The Shallot The Marjoram," is printed in a stylized script. The dish has integrated handles on either side for carrying. The clear glass lid fits snugly on top and features a round glass finial for lifting. The item appears to be in good overall condition with no significant chips, cracks, or visible damage, though some light surface wear or utensil marks may be present consistent with typical use, which are not clearly discernible from the image. The pattern and material suggest a mid to late 20th-century manufacturing period. The quality of the transfer print is fair, with no obvious signs of fading or rubbing off. The overall craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced cookware of this era.
