Sarpaneva Casserole dish by Iittala Black/Natural wood

Iittala Casserole dish Black/Natural wood Metal. Dimensions: 3 L. The new iron age. Professor Timo Sarpaneva's gran­dfather was a blacksmith. Being around re and molten metal in his childhood inspired the designer to recreate a popular version of the ancient cast-iron pot. The Sarpaneva pot became such a favorite that it was featured on one of a collection of postage stamps celebrating the Finnish design élite. The Sarpaneva pot is a combination of tradition, functionalism and polished aesthetics. It is a basic object for the home that you can lift from the stove straight to the table. Its distinguishing innovative feature is the detachable wooden handle you use to open the lid and lift the pot. The excellent qualities of the enameled cast-iron pot on the stove, in the oven and when serving, complete perhaps the most beautiful cast-iron pot in the world.
