A matched set of two vintage French ceramic baking dishes in apparently unused condition. Both feature glossy deep-blue exteriors, creamy white interiors, vertically fluted sides and small integrated tab handles, known in France as oreilles.

The complementary square and rectangular forms are ideal for gratins, baked side dishes, individual casseroles, desserts or oven-to-table serving. Their rich blue-and-white colorway gives them a timeless French country appearance.

Each piece bears an impressed alphanumeric production or mold code on its unglazed base. The rectangular dish appears to be marked “TC2C,” while the square dish appears to be marked “TC22C.” The precise manufacturer has not been confirmed; the pair is therefore offered as vintage French culinary ceramic rather than attributed to a specific maker.
