Yellow Ribbed Ceramic Lidded Dish

This item is a rectangular lidded casserole dish or butter dish, made from what appears to be glazed ceramic or stoneware. Its primary color is a soft, pastel yellow, suggesting a mid-century or vintage aesthetic. The overall form is boxy with gently rounded corners. Both the lid and the base feature horizontal ribbed or fluted details along their sides, adding textural interest and a decorative quality. The lid is fitted with a simple, integrated arched handle, designed for easy lifting. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures from the provided image, but the design suggests a mass-produced item. The glaze appears uniform and glossy, though there might be minor surface wear or light scratches consistent with use, particularly on the top surface of the lid and the upper edges of the base where the lid rests. No significant chips, cracks, or repairs are immediately apparent. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality for its type, with smooth lines and a consistent glaze application. Based on its style and color, it likely dates from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1950s or 1960s, reflecting the popular pastel palettes of that era in kitchenware. It could be used for serving butter, small side dishes, or as a decorative storage container.
