SECLA specialized in pottery made for export, primarily to the US and UK, and closed in 2008. The bottom carries their stamped 'S' mark, in use since 1947. Oven safety isn't confirmed for this pottery piece, so we'd recommend low temperatures if baking, or using it purely as a serving dish.

A wonderful piece for entertaining, a buffet table centerpiece, or simply striking kitchen decor.
