The Lastra pattern features clean and simple lines, inspired by the circular wooden slabs used for centuries to make the outer mold for Italian cheesemaking. The edges of each piece have a dark dusting, which reminds you of the ash used to preserve cheeses. Every Vietri piece is handcrafted in Italy from top - quality clays and glazes sourced from the Italian countryside. It measures 14.25' x 6.75' and is 3.25' high. This Italian stoneware dish is not only hand - crafted and hand - painted but also safe for dishwasher, microwave, freezer, and oven use.

Using your Vietri Lastra medium au gratin dish is a breeze. You can use it to bake your favorite au gratin recipes in the oven, heat up leftovers in the microwave, or store food in the freezer. When it's time to clean, just pop it in the dishwasher. Since it's hand - crafted and hand - painted, handle it with care to avoid chipping or scratching. To keep it looking its best, avoid using abrasive cleaners. With proper use and maintenance, this dish will serve you well for a long time.
