Laminated gratin dish / small enameled cast-iron skillet Cousances – Le Creuset, France

Old enameled cast-iron cooking dish from the French Le Creuset manufactory. The name Cousances signifies the high-end line from Le Creuset.

This piece is distinguished by its round, shallow silhouette, its chocolate-brown exterior and ivory enamel interior. It features a long integrated handle with a hanging hole as well as two opposite pour spouts, convenient for pouring preparations.

Versatile, this dish is designed for cooking on fire, especially gas, and in the oven. It can serve as a small skillet, a gratin dish, or an individual container for preparing and presenting cooked dishes.

The bottom bears the raised mark “COUSANCES – MADE IN FRANCE”, accompanied by the number 16, corresponding to the piece’s size.
