The Pillivuyt Toulouse Square Baker in 8.5 inches makes small-batch gratins, personal lasagnas, or roasted sides feel cozy and perfectly portioned for two to four people. Pillivuyt designed this piece with a pleated base for subtle texture and sturdy handles embossed with their name as a quiet nod to craftsmanship, while the square shape optimizes oven space and serves straight to the table with ease. We love how its 1.5-quart capacity handles intimate dinners or sides that steal the show, the thin walls spreading heat evenly for golden, bubbly tops and tender centers every time.

High-fired at 2550°F in their historic Mehun-sur-Yèvre workshop, the porcelain features an extraordinarily hard glaze that resists chipping, scratching, cracking, or crazing, plus thermal-shock resistance for seamless transitions from freezer to hot oven (up to 550°F), microwave reheats, or dishwasher cleanup with a quick soak and scrub.

At 51 ounces, it's substantial for great heat retention yet manageable for everyday baking joy. This French essential turns simple dishes into warm, satisfying moments.
