This vibrant rectangular plate set from Le Creuset features a durable design perfect for serving and entertaining! First quality in original packaging. Le Creuset enameled stoneware units are individually hand-made. The enamel is blown by hand, and intricacies may occur during this blowing and firing process. After the enamel is applied, the unit is heated to extreme temperatures to harden the enamel. Pinholes and other cosmetic intricacies may occur at this time, more noticeably on raised areas such as the lettering, rings on the lid, etc. Since each piece is uniquely crafted, each piece of Le Creuset cookware is one-of-a-kind. The pinholes and/or intricacies in the enamel do not affect the integrity or performance of the item. The item is completely safe to use, and the intricacies will not cause any issues in the future. This also does not affect the safety or performance of the cookware in any way. Each piece is analyzed by Le Creuset's quality control team before being packaged and shipped across the world.
