This is a set of SIX Escargot dishes by Emile Henry, France. Snail cooking and serving dishes from the 1980s. Each one has twelve wells, to hold the cooked snails in place. They are decorated in a classic creamy beige glaze with, speckled, terracotta brown edges and handles.
The perfect "oven to table" dish, allowing you to cook and serve from the same dish, without needing to transfer the snails, keeping all the flavour of the cooking juices and giving you beautiful presentation at the same time.
You could use them to serve baked mushrooms or to serve canapés/nibbles at dinner parties or as egg trays, as the "wells" are the perfect size to store eggs!
Each Dish measures 18cms / 7" diameter (24cms /9½" to the handles) They are heavy and weigh a chunky 900gms (2lbs) each!
They are in excellent condition with no chips, they may have the faintest hint of "hairline crackling" to the glazes, which is normal for the age of these dishes, and in no way detracts from the functionality or beauty of them. They all have the famous Emile Henry "Key" mark on the undersides. They are numbered '25.12' Emile Henry has famously made high quality ceramics in Marcigny, Burgundy since 1850.
