Simmenthal - Kitchen container (2) - baking dish - Terracotta, Glaze - Terracotta Simmenthal

Up for auction: an authentic piece of Italian advertising history: two original Simmenthal terracotta rectangular baking dishes. The item bears on the bottom the iconic brand logo (the cow) rendered with a refined relief technique.

These items were produced between the late 1970s and the early 1980s as loyalty prizes or high-quality promotional gadgets, designed to last over time thanks to the sturdiness of natural terracotta.

Material: natural unglazed terracotta on the outside (perfect for even baking).

Dimensions: 26 cm x 15 cm x 5 cm.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. I note on one baking dish a small chip.

Ideal both as a collectible/display piece in rustic kitchens, and for functional oven use.
