Excellent condition
The piece is presented in remarkable condition for its age.
The white interior enamel is particularly well preserved and shows no notable chips. The yellow exterior surface is also very beautiful.

No cracks, no significant chips, and no restorations observed.
A rare design piece

In 1958, Raymond Loewy designed for Le Creuset a new generation of cooking shapes with clean, modern, aerodynamic lines. The famous Coquelle is the best-known example of this collaboration. Le Creuset is also documented as having worked with Loewy on pieces in enameled cast iron.
The shape of this dish is today particularly sought after by Le Creuset vintage, Mid-Century design, and Raymond Loewy enthusiasts.

Comparable examples are currently offered as “Raymond Loewy Le Creuset Fish Pan,” notably in yellow, with dimensions very close to 40 × 14.5 × 6 cm.
A rare and especially decorative piece, here offered in exceptional condition.

Very careful and protective shipping,
