Ideal for onion soup with browned cheese on top or for baking pot pies, these two 16-ounce gratinée bowls are a traditional French shape and have attractive ridged exteriors that make them welcome in country kitchens. They can go directly from freezer to oven, into the microwave, under the broiler, and through the dishwasher without harming their glossy, lead-free glaze, which does not absorb odors or moisture and is so hard it will not crack, discolor, or scratch. They measure 5-1/2 inches in diameter and 2-1/2 inches high and have handles to keep thumbs out of the soup.
Since 1850, Emile Henry cookware and bakeware have been made in Burgundy, where a unique clay is kiln-fired into a ceramic unsurpassed for conducting and retaining heat. Prized worldwide, Emile Henry products come in a wide range of colors, from the bright hues (with white interiors) of the Couleurs line to the earth tones (with creamy interiors) of the rustic Le Potier line, of which these green bowls are glowing examples. Each piece is stamped with the year it was made and the initials of the craftsman responsible for it perfection and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
