Winterberry’s classic holiday design brings the timeless motif of evergreens and holly berries to life in elegantly sculpted dinnerware pieces. For preparing a favorite casserole, this rectangular baker in the Winterberry design comes in handy. With its white background and decorative holly, the festive piece is ideal for holiday parties, but can also be used throughout the winter season. The baker features durable handles and measures 15-4/5 by 12 by 3-1/4 inches. Made of durable stoneware, it is safe to use in the oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher. Pfaltzgraff includes a five-year warranty against defects. --Catie Unger

| Summary: | Excellent stoneware - but Made in China now, not USA |
| Comment: | I have owned Pfaltzgraff stoneware in several patterns and must say that Winterberry is my very favorite. This is the perfect dinnerware for all occasions during the Winter season. I recently added this rectangular baker to my collection and am very pleased with it. One of the wonderful things about the stoneware is that you can bake and serve in the same dish. This is a tremendous advantage during busy holidays. Although this baker is somewhat smaller than a Pyrex baker it still has a multitude of uses both for everyday casseroles and bring-a-dish sides that you may want to share. The Winterberry pattern is crisp and beautiful on the white background. Since Pfaltzgraff has moved their manufacturing of stoneware to China, in the past years the early Chinese pieces were quite sub-quality to the previously USA made ones. No so, now. Although there is a slight difference in the white background glaze, the USA items being somewhat creamier and the Chinese pieces being a bit more grayish, at a glance it is difficult to notice. The green around the edge of all the Winterberry pieces is also a deeper shade in the Chinese pieces than the lighter, slightly more teal shade on the USA pieces and this piece is no exception. All in all I am very happy with this baker and it is a nice addition to my collection. However, if you have older USA manufactured Winterberry pieces and want to add this baker, you should be aware that it is made in China and color variations are noticable on close examination. |

| Summary: | Size Matters. . . |
| Comment: | This dish, while very pretty, is not as big as I thought it would be. I thought it would be the same size as a standard Pyrex oblong baking dish, and it's quite a bit smaller. I'm going to keep it, but it will not be as useful as I'd hoped. |
