| If you like contemporary design you might go with these from Kavalier Glassworks on ebay. They're the national distributor for Simax glass, a Czech company which makes lab beakers and (formerly) glass products for the home. What's happening is a lot of the European glass companies are closing out their home lines because they can't compete with Asian products. This borosilicate glass is heat-resistant up to 900 degrees, but for absolute comfirmation, just email the company. I have purchased other things from them. Inexpensive and good service. Carol |

| Are you looking for a nice rustic looking serving dish? If it doesn't matter the white corning glass bowls with the little tab handle and plastic top would probably hold up pretty well. But then if you are looking for personal experience - I won't risk my two old ones with glass tops - they are my most precious kitchen possession:) I have been using them in the microwave for years - I don't like the new plastic tops. You can usually buy these at Wal-Mart etc. Actually the don't look that different from the LeCreuset ones except they only come in white. If you want the rustic look - check a restaurant supply house for the brown ones you see in restaurants - or ask a restaurant if you can buy some of theirs. |
