$25.20
This vintage piece is a true mid-century gem. The Delft Blue 1950s Enamel Cast Iron Oval Casserole Dish by DRU Holland no. 36 blends practical design with an artful nod to traditional Dutch Delftware. Its characteristic blue and white enamel finish is reminiscent of classic Delft Blue pottery—a style celebrated for its intricate, hand-painted motifs that have defined Dutch ceramic art for centuries.
Produced in the 1950s by DRU Holland, a manufacturer known for durable enameled cast iron cookware, this casserole dish was designed for both effective heat distribution and aesthetic appeal. Enameled cast iron is prized not just for its ability to retain and distribute heat evenly, making it ideal for slow-cooked casseroles, stews, and roasts, but also for its attractive finish that serves as a focal point on any table. The “no. 36” design number identifies the specific pattern used for this piece, distinguishing it among collectors and enthusiasts.
While the dish is in amazing vintage condition, you might notice some signs of wear—such as minor marks on the exterior or faint utensil imprints on the interior enamel. These details are typical for items of its age and contribute to its charm rather than detract from its functionality. Gentle cleaning with mild detergents and non-abrasive tools is recommended to preserve the enamel and maintain its visual appeal.
This casserole dish perfectly encapsulates the marriage of form and function from a bygone era. Whether you’re using it for its intended culinary purpose or displaying it as a collectible, its timeless design and historical significance make it a standout piece in any collection.
