Vintage Mid-Century Modern Japanese Stoneware Lidded Casserole Dish

This piece is a classic unbranded mid-century modern Japanese stoneware casserole dish. This specific style was widely imported from Japan during the 1970s and 1980s by various casual dinnerware brands. It features a minimal, rustic design with a signature dark brown pin-stripe border on a glossy, speckled cream base. The silhouette is defined by smooth, rounded walls, stubby integrated side tab handles, and a drop-in lid with a single circular knob handle. The small hole on the lid functions specifically as a steam vent to prevent pressure build-up during baking or simmering. The casserole is in good vintage condition with no damages noted. Height with lid: 13.5 cm, Diameter of base: 18 cm, Diameter of rim: 18.5 cm
