I am coveting this little 5 1/2 qt beauty for my own. I felt my heart skip a beat when I saw her. Le Creuset is amazing cookware and it will last forever!
From the Le Creuset website:
This particular limited-edition design was inspired by the coastal town of marseille. from culture to cuisine, marseille is known for its rich heritage and compelling nautical history. the deep blue hues and artisanal quality of this round french oven reflect the simple, yet elegant lifestyle of this charming port city.
As we explored the nautical roots of marseille, we discovered the mariner star. this symbol is found on compasses used for centuries to navigate the winds that blow along the mediterranean coast. the northwest point on the star represents the mistral wind that blows through marseille. each year marseille residents gather for the fête du vent, the festival that celebrates this famous mistral wind.
Our french roots and Charleston home led us to partner with the American College of the Building Arts in Charleston, South Carolina, on the design of the first installment in this series. The mariner star has a particularly rich and storied history in both charleston and marseille—two of the world’s most cultured port cities. beloved by sailors and those who live by the sea, the mariner star can be found in architecture and home décor throughout marseille, charleston and other nautical cities.
In honor of Le Creuset's founding in 1925, only 1,925 round french ovens of this design have been produced and the mold has been destroyed.
