Product Description
Imagine serving guests their own blueberry crisp, piping hot from the oven in this brightly colored Petite Casserole. It's a fun way to present snacks, dips and other single servings that have long baked or just been chilled. In stoneware, it's versatile enough to go right from the fridge to the microwave, and the well-fitted lid retains heat and flavor. Two small side handles make it easy to serve. Fashionable and functional, it also makes a fun gift. Le Creuset stoneware is ideal for microwave or conventional oven, with beautiful colors and textures that make for amazing presentations, whether formal or casual. Nonporous, so it won't stain or absorb odors, and it's exceptionally durable and resistant to scratches, chips and cracks. Can also be stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
Amazon.com Review
Le Creuset adds adorable charm to its time-tested construction with this winning little petite blueberry lidded casserole dish. Crafted from durable stoneware, the round, berry-shaped piece transitions smoothly from the freezer to the oven then makes for fabulous presentation at the table. Petitely-sized for individual portions of blueberry crisp or warm blueberry compote at the breakfast table, the dish holds 13 ounces when filled to the rim. This size also makes it a convenient vessel for serving chilled berry soup portions in summer. For added cheer and appeal, the casserole can be combined with similar Le Creuset casseroles shaped like strawberries, pears, or blackberries. Like Le Creuset's other renowned stoneware pieces, the petite blueberry casserole is fired at a whopping 2000+ degrees and stoutly resists odor-absorption, staining, cracking, chipping, and crazing. Its true-blue enamel glazing is attractively deep in hue at top and bottom while lighter at the rim, and the secure lid features a cute, sculptural blueberry top. Measuring 5 by 5 by 5 inches, the casserole cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher and is safe for use in the microwave. --Emily Bedard

this was an added extra, so I did not really care about it. However, my wife has been using it to bake many delectable dishes for my son. Nice surprise!
 Beware of lower-priced seconds July 4, 2008

I've been wanting a Petite Blueberry Casserole, but $25 seemed too much for a purchase that's basically frivolous. Then one day I noticed the price was marked down to $19.89 for an unknown reason. The temptation was too great, and I bought one. When it arrived, it was actually larger than I expected after reading some of the reviews. (I've posted two photos of the casserole next to a soda can so you can get a better idea of the actual size.) But what I really noticed was the odd color band around the center of the casserole. The official photos indicate the center is supposed to be a lighter shade than the blueberry color on the top and bottom, but this was so light that the color could best be described as lilac. I hadn't seen a blueberry casserole in person before this, so I didn't know if it's supposed to be that color. But it doesn't look attractive at all. There was also a blemish that looked like a fingerprint pressed into the surface of the lid. I have returned the casserole for a refund. Interestingly, it wasn't eligible for a replacement -- only a refund. Now, I can't say for certain that there's a relationship between the reduced price and the reduced quality, but now I know that if something that's never been on sale is suddenly on sale, this buyer will beware.
Great piece, lousy retailer March 8, 2008

The piece is beautiful, great for deserts or other individual servings of dishes. Wonderful if you have vegetarian or vegan friends and you want to make variations of the main dish for them.
This arrived with a chip on one of the leaves. It was a holiday present and I did not inspect it before wrapping. When we discovered that it was damaged, we tried to exchange it. After numerous un-answered voice mail and email messages, we were informed that it was past the 14 day period that they allowed for exchanges.
Lovely piece, but try to find it from someone other than The Kitchen Clique.

This is the most adorable little casserole. It's about the size of a large softball. Very blue. It bakes and cleans up well. I've used it to make single servings of many dishes but I love to roast garlic in it. A good price for this line of cookware. I would recommend it for anyone who likes to cook. I'm sure you'll come up with some very creative uses for it too. And it looks great sitting on the counter top!
So cute it doesn't need a function! January 15, 2008

I bought a series of these petite "casseroles" as kitchen decor. Whether I ever use them for food preparation remains to be seen. They are so adorable, I don't care if they are practical! I can see using them for service pieces, but I mainly plan to enjoy the color and whimsy they add to my kitchen.
