Extra Large Vintage Arcopal Smoked Glass Casserole Dish with Lid

This dish is a vintage Arcopal smoked glass casserole dish with a lid, likely manufactured in France during the 1970s. 

The dish is made of high-quality, tempered glass, which is known for its durability and resistance to breakage, similar to Pyrex. The material is also non-porous, so it will not absorb food odours or flavours. It has a distinctive translucent, smoked brown or amber colour, often referred to as "fumé". The dish is an oval shape and features two handles on the main body and the lid for easy handling. It is designed for cooking and serving.

Arcopal dishes are typically oven-safe and can be used on gas or electric cookers, as well as in the microwave, fridge, and freezer. 

Arcopal was a brand of tempered opal glassware launched in 1958 by the French company Arc International (originally Verrerie Cristallerie d'Arques), known for its exceptional strength and durability. The material is completely non-porous and highly resistant to breakage and chipping, making it suitable for everyday use. 

Aside from two chips on the inside of the oval lid (please see picture), the dish is in good usable condition.

Height with lid: 13 cm, Dimensions: 27 cm x 23 cm, Handle-to-handle: 33 cm
