[ No.5 ] Glass Casserole Dish by Massimo & Lella Vignelli for Heller

NZ$165.00

Designer: Massimo & Lella Vignelli

Maker: Heller [ USA ]

Year: 1970s

Size: H 125 x D/W 208 [ combined ]

Condition Report: Great vintage condition. No cracks or ships, just some light wear with age and use

.

This glass casserole dish reflects the iconic design duo’s considered approach to everyday objects, where functional requirements and clean, timeless design go hand in hand.

The two-piece set comprises a deeper glass base and a smaller lid, both featuring the collection’s characteristic ribbed walls and generous integrated rims which double as handles. Lella Vignelli understood that food often looks more appealing from above compared to the side. The ribbed glass walls were deliberately designed to obscure the side view of the food while catching the light and giving the glass texture. It's a lovely example of aesthetics being driven by practical thinking

Equally suited to preparing and serving food, the pieces can be used independently as bowls or repurposed for storing everyday essentials. The combination of transparent glass, tactile detailing and simple geometric form makes this a particularly enduring example of modern American kitchenware.
