Lot #94: Vintage Lagostina Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven/Cocotte – Orange Self-Basting Lid

Beautiful vintage Lagostina enameled cast-iron Dutch oven/cocotte in a striking glossy orange finish, complete with matching lid and Lagostina metal knob. This is a wonderful piece for slow cooking, braising, roasting and one-pot meals. The heavy cast iron retains and distributes heat beautifully, while the specially designed lid helps create a self-basting cooking environment. As steam condenses beneath the lid, the raised drip points return moisture back over the food, helping keep roasts, poultry and braised dishes tender, juicy and full of flavour. The smooth cream enamel interior is easy to clean and does not require seasoning. The generous round shape and sturdy side handles make this equally useful in the kitchen or attractive enough to bring straight to the table. Brand: Lagostina Material: Enameled cast iron Colour: Orange with cream interior Approx. diameter: 13” Approx. height with lid: 7” Condition: Good vintage condition overall. There is a small area of enamel loss/chipping to one handle, shown clearly in the photographs. Some minor surface marks consistent with previous use are also present. Interior enamel appears clean and intact. Please review all photographs carefully. A very handsome and highly functional piece of vintage Lagostina cookware, with the self-basting lid being a particularly desirable feature for anyone who loves slow-roasted, moist and tender food.
