How delightful are these wee gratin dishes from Suisse Langenthal? I love that seriously bling gold glaze (I used to own a fantastic ceramic Paul Smith bunny with a  similar metallic glaze, which I just loved, so I have a bit of a soft spot for this finish), and of course those classic fan-shaped handles are just so pretty!  According to me they’re au gratin dishes, so presumably they should be able to go in the oven, but I can’t be 100% certain – hopefully somebody who knows a bit more about cooking (and cookware!) will be able to tell us…..

P.S. Suisse Langenthal porcelain seems to sell for pretty high prices –  a set of two of these dishes in brown and (not this fabulous gold!) are for sale on eBay for R400!

Dimensions: Each dish measures 2.5cm deep x 13cm in diameter; 15.5cm long (incl. handles)
