This preowned, never used stoneware casserole is like new, still in the box. It is a vibrant cerise red color with an enamel glaze finish that makes for easy clean up. It is perfect for baking individual portions or side dishes to share; pot pies, mac & cheese, lava cake, fresh fruit crisp, you name it. Directions for use are on the side of the box. It is not for stove top or any other direct heat source. The handles get very hot when it comes out of the oven or microwave so always use oven mitts. It measures @ 4" in diameter, 3" high with lid, 2" high w/o lid.
