Crafted in Marcigny, France, by the historic house of Emile Henry, this deep ruffled pie dish showcases the studio's celebrated mastery of ceramic engineering and timeless culinary design. Shaped from mineral-rich Burgundian clay, the dish is engineered to absorb, diffuse, and retain thermal energy gently and evenly, ensuring thoroughly baked, golden crusts without hot spots. The exterior is coated in a durable, high-gloss vitreous glaze in Emile Henry's signature rich red, resistant to scratching and thermal shock, allowing seamless transitions from freezer to high-heat ovens.
The sculptural silhouette pays homage to traditional French pastry molds, defined by an undulating fluted rim that serves both aesthetic and utilitarian purposes. The pronounced ruffles elegantly crimp and support tall pastry walls while establishing natural cutting guides for uniform portioning and effortless serving at the table. Showing only minor signs of careful prior kitchen handling, the dish retains a vibrant, glossy sheen across its cooking surface and scalloped exterior.
This piece measures approximately 10.4 inches in diameter by 2.4 inches in height and weighs 2.5 pounds.
