Description
I threw the walls of Verde Covered Baker on the potter’s wheel in two parts: bowl with galley and lid. With a slight foot elevates the bowl off of surface and twisted handles and finial.
Verde glaze consists of layering copper green and cream rust glazes, both of which I make. First, I dip the piece in the copper green glaze. This time, I’m dipping half and then a quarter. Then I dip the cream rust glaze that I make to flow on the opposite half, which covers the quarter, if you get my drift. This technique produces a piece that has areas which are strictly green and areas that are strictly cream. And areas where the two create an interesting go between. The result is clean, tailored, and more subtle than some of my glaze combos!
And yes, you can bake in it! Bake mac n cheese, stuffing, rigatoni, sweet potatoes, and so much more! Serve from oven to table. The cover helps keep food hot longer. Or simply use to serve.
When baking at room temperature, the dish is safe to go into a preheated oven; however, when reheating refrigerated left-overs, do not preheat the oven. Put the cold dish into the cold oven and heat them up together. If you are juggling oven time and the oven is already hot, allow the refrigerated dish to come to room temperature first.
Makes a unique and beautiful housewarming gift, holiday gift, or anytime gift. So useful!
