Create a bouquet at the table with this lovely baker on any occasion set in Portmeirion's Botanic Garden. When entertaining, cook and serve lasagne or casseroles in this attractive dish with ease and style. From over 30 flowers featured in the collection, two stems of light purple clematis adorn this bakeware, with butterflies hovering nearby, and framed by the signature leaf chain border. Coordinate with other cookware, serveware, and accessories as well as the complete line of dinnerware in the distinctive pattern. Inspired by 19th-century floral illustrations, the handpainted blossoms designed by artist Susan Williams-Ellis over 30 years ago, presents an extensive selection that make wonderful gifts. Crafted in England of high-quality stoneware, the freezer to oven to table item is dishwasher-safe and oven-safe to 390 degrees F, though extreme temperature changes should be avoided. --Roberta Cruger

 LOVE IT!! June 17, 2008
I've been collecting these dishes for over 10 years now, piece by piece as I went through college. Since I graduated school last summer, I have started collecting the serving dishes. This dish is wonderful. Well crafted, heavy and solid. Haven't made lasagna in is yet, but I have served many other things.
