Temptations Old World Cranberry 11" Round Baker with Handles

This item is an 11-inch round ceramic baker dish, recognizable by its distinct decorative pattern and side handles, characteristic of the 'Old World Cranberry' collection by Temptations. The dish features a vibrant, hand-painted motif, primarily in festive red and green colors with white accents on an off-white background. The central design consists of a circular band of interconnected red dots, surrounded by stylized green leaves and red berries. This central motif is framed by a wider band of intricate green patterns resembling latticework or small floral clusters. Another solid red band encircles the exterior of the entire inner pattern. The outer rim of the dish and the integrated side handles are a solid, glossy cranberry red, providing a striking contrast to the detailed interior. The handles are flush with the rim, forming a smooth, continuous edge. The craftsmanship suggests a durable, oven-safe ceramic, likely stoneware. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear on the glazed surface from the provided image, indicating good condition. The hand-painted nature of the design suggests a certain level of artisanal quality, with slight variations in pattern and color expected, contributing to its unique charm. The style is traditional and festive, often associated with holiday or seasonal decor, and its utility is for baking and serving. The 'Temptations' brand is known for its oven-to-table bakeware with these distinctive hand-painted designs, making it a popular choice for home entertaining.
