This Franciscan Ivy 1.5 quart covered casserole has been well-loved for its purpose of preparing and serving food! Because of this, it has two small chips under the lid--unnoticeable with the lid on. The ends of the handles show wear from being shoved into the oven. Otherwise, it is in very good condition!<p>

It is 8 1/4 inches in diameter with a 1.5-quart capacity. Characteristic of the American Franciscan Ivy pattern, It shows the green trim of the ivy around the edge.<p>

(For a bit of history: Franciscan China is a product of the original Gladding, McBean & Co., founded in 1875 to manufacture sewer tile in Glendale, California. Franciscan dinnerware lines began production in 1934 under the auspices of Frederic and Mary Grant, pottery artists and producers from Weller Pottery. They created or influenced many of the best loved Franciscan dinnerware designs, including Franciscan Ivy, well into the mid-20th century.<p>

At the beginning, Franciscan Pottery was in the bright colors and style of the American Southwest. Its name is a tribute to the Franciscan monks who lived in Californian missions and its designs incorporate those of the style of Mexican folk pottery. Franciscan helped start the "California Style" of American ceramics and used Spanish-inspired names such as Montecito and Coronado. As the company grew, it manufactured a wide product line, including art pottery, garden pottery, and decorative tiles.)
