Era / Decade
1970s (specifically 1970-1987). The design features the iconic L'Echalote / Spice O' Life pattern which was mass-produced during this era.
Material

Condition
Good. The exterior design remains visible with some gold-toning. There is some minor surface grime and potential light flea bites or scuffs on the upper rim visible in the photo.
Demand Level
Moderate. These are common but consistently sought after by vintage kitchenware collectors and 'replacement' buyers.

Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'L'Echalote', 'P-41-B', and 'Pyroceram'. Take clear photos of the bottom stamp and the interior cleanliness. If you have the lid, the price doubles. Clean with Barkeeper's Friend to make the white ceramic pop.
