Description :

Duo of vintage lidded cookware, each with its own legacy of design and durability:

  • Guardian Service Ware Dutch Oven/Roaster – Crafted from heavy-duty hammered cast aluminum, this mid-century piece features a glass lid adorned with a knight’s helmet and crossed swords. Produced by Century Metalcraft Corporation between 1935 and 1956, Guardian Service Ware was sold through in-home parties by independent salespeople, making each piece a relic of both culinary and social history.
  • Cathrineholm Lotus Enamelware Dutch Oven/Casserole Dish – A highly collectible example from Norway’s iconic Lotus line, designed by Grete Prytz Kittelsen in the 1960s. This dish showcases a vibrant orange enamel finish with the signature white lotus petal motif. Marked “Cathrineholm, Made in Norway” on the base, it’s a standout piece of Scandinavian modern design.

Together, these ovens represent two distinct eras of cookware innovation—one rooted in American utility and the other in Nordic artistry.
