Yellow Ceramic Casserole Appraisal

Vintage Yellow Ceramic Individual Casserole Dishes with Lids

This lot consists of two matching individual casserole dishes with lids, crafted from ceramic or stoneware with a vibrant yellow glaze on the exterior and a contrasting white interior rim. Each casserole dish features two small, flat white handles extending from the rim, providing a classical yet functional aesthetic. The lids are also yellow and have a round, integrated knob-like handle for easy lifting. One casserole dish is complete with its lid, while the other is missing its proper lid, instead having two different yellow, non-matching lid-like pieces placed near it. One of these appears to be a broken or incomplete ceramic piece, possibly from another item, showing a significant chip or break on its edge with exposed rough, unglazed material. The other is a smaller, simpler yellow lid, also with a central handle, but it does not appear to fit the larger casserole dish perfectly. The overall construction suggests they are oven-safe and designed for individual servings of baked dishes. The visible condition shows signs of use and age, particularly with the non-matching broken lid piece. The main casserole dishes and their intact lid appear to be in reasonably good used condition, with some minor surface wear typical of ceramics. The bright yellow color indicates a Mid-Century Modern or vintage aesthetic, likely from the mid-20th century, a popular period for colorful kitchenware. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible in the provided image.
