Made between 1903 to 1911, are two matching Antique “HALL’S Superior Quality Kitchenware” Casseroles with lids, \

1. Large 64 oz./ 2 quart dish / 1816 mL. \
2. Small 16 oz./pint size dish / 454 mL. Series is called Rose Parade #1259.

The ceramic dishes are a beautiful sky blue with blossom transfers on all 3 handles (two side handles and single handle on the lid). On heavily used dishes, the gold label on the bottom is severely faded & worn & can be unreadable, but these two casseroles have clear and distinct labels showing they were gently used and may not have been used at all. No chips, cracks, repairs or defects especially no crazing- see why below. In like-new condition.

Mr. Hall experimented to develop a glaze that would stand the high heat (2400 degrees Fahrenheit) required for bisque firing, thus making possible single-fire ware that would be non-porous and craze-proof. This single-fire process had been used in China during the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1368–1644). The pottery is known for its durability, thanks to the lead-free glaze and the single-fire process used during production.
