Description
A 1.5-quart rectangular ceramic baker featuring the popular 'Old World' pattern in yellow. Originally designed for oven-to-table use, this piece has the classic floral motif on the exterior and a cream-colored interior.
Key Features
Hand-painted collectible pattern, 1.5 QT capacity, highly recognizable brand frequently sold on QVC.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence; clear manufacturer backstamp 'Temp-tations Presentable Ovenware by Tara' with specific pattern 'Old World' and SKU 'KFI' marked. Made in China.
Flaws to Note
Significant structural hairline crack on the bottom side; extensive 'crazing' (fine web-like cracks in the glaze) across the center. These defects make the item unsafe for liquid or high-heat cooking as bacteria can grow in cracks and the piece may shatter in the oven.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or a local garage sale. Shipping this item is not recommended as the structural integrity is compromised.
Selling Tips
Listing on eBay/Poshmark is not advised due to the crack; the cost of shipping will exceed the value. If selling locally, it must be disclosed as 'AS IS' or 'For Decorative Use Only'. It could potentially serve as a planter or for organizing dry craft supplies.
