I am looking for the flame “30″ size skillet. Mine recently cracked. I was so disappointed. I have the 23 and 28 already and love them.
I have the small butter warmer pot and lid in the yellow Markley Descorama pattern. I would like to find the base that matches it.
Looking for an 11″ yellow skillet lid
I have a gorgeous Descoware large oval Dutch oven, in flame, 14 1/2 X 11 inches (not including handles). Oven itself is in terrific shape… but the lid has a crack halfway through it, both in the enamel and the iron. I’ve looking for quite a while to find a replacement lid. Would any of you Descowareans have one for sale? Please let me know. Thanks.
I have been looking for the large bean pot, 5 (or 5.5?) qt, not the 3 qt that can still be found on ebay sometimes. I really would appreciate if anyone knows how to get one.
I just found 2 brand new pieces of vintage descoware markley pattern (I think – yellow with cooking / food items painted on the items / Belgium stamped on the bottoms). One is a wooden handled pan (approx. 6″ handle / 8″ pan) with a partial red sticker on the bottom and the other is a small covered casserole dish with a top (approx. 7″ x 5″ and 3″ deep).
I’m not planning on using them and they appear to be very collectable.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks.
Tim.
I purchased a `1 quart vacuum carafe by Descoware (with original box) at an estate sale yesterday. The box says it’s CK 501 Flame. There are no identifying marks on the carafe itself. How can I verify its authenticity?
Hi Judy. Seems like that the carafe in the box indicates the authenticity. You wouldn’t happen to have a photo would you? info -at- descoware.com
A few weeks ago I posted a comment about an unusual Tea kettle/steamer that I bought many years ago. The lid was broken but I still have the Tea kettle and the steamer insert.
I included a link to pictures of it and another Descoware item:

My comment was up for a couple of weeks and now it is no longer on your site. Did I include something unwanted in my comment?
I recently scored a MINT sun yellow 5.5 qt. Descoware pot with NO COVER. The size is not stamped but it is a ’26′. How I know is I went to a Le Creuset store and sized the covers and voila! the 26 was a perfect fit. Question is how do I get a cover for my pot? I doubt anyone has a spare yellow 26cm cover just lieing around and I also doubt that Le Creuset will sell just a cover, even if I COULD afford it! Any ideas? Thanks! CRT
I have a butter yellow colored Descoware dutch over lid, size 26. It shows a little wear. I got it at Goodwill. Do you still need a lid? Goodwill manages to separate a lot of pans and lids, I buy the Descoware lids whenever I come across one, in hopes I can make a match.
Check E-bay often. Lots of folks are selling just lids. Sometimes you can even make an offer. You will find it!
I am searching for a good condition 9qt dutch oven in flame. It might not even need a lid, as I have the large skillet which has a lid that would likely fit the large dutch oven also. I LOVE my Descoware, and I am hoping to replace my Martha Stewart heavy as heck and chipping on the outside (even though I take VERY GOOD CARE of it!) version of the enameled CI dutch oven. Any thoughts? I check e-bay and shopgoodwill.com and Etsy regularly. Sigh. I have only seen it come up once on E-bay and I was outbid sniper style at the end. Anyone?
i just got a descoware skillet and i really like it! came here to learn more and lo and behold… we have the same name!
i live in the bay area and there are lots of little retro charm stores that have products like this…keep searching antique malls/estate sales too! good luck! i too am hoping to find more…
I have a set of canisters in mint condition from the japanese period with all the labels. I do not believe they were ever used. They also have the flame red/orange coloring with wooden rings and handles on the lids. There are 4 in the set. I have no use for them as they have setting up in a closet for years. Is there a collectors site where I could post these for sale?
Dear Kevin Purchased turquoise Descoware dutch oven w/o markings on E-Bay . . it is exactly similar to autumn-leaf Descoware dutch oven I also own. I understand the turquoise was made in very limited quantities. It is absolutely stunning and I would like to get your impression of same. How do I make that happen? docmark1@comcast.net
this from Mark by email. “General Housewares Corp. sold-off patents/Descoware castings in mid-to-late 1970′s to Le Creuset. Le Creuset used a few of the castings for a brief period and imparted their own proprietary colorations/turquoise. So what we have here is a descoware casted piece colored by Le Creuset. You will not find turquoise enameled pieces predeeding the period of Le Creuset ownership.
Le Creuset, during period of same, also imparted proprietary turquoise coloration to some of their own pieces, which can be seen with the ‘phenolic lid handle’. I have found at least one other turquoise casting of a former Descoware piece under the Le Creuset label/vintage. Again these castings were produced within just a few short years of each other, with the Descoware pieces preceding the Le Creuset pieces.
If you provide your address, I will send E-bay pictures from preceding paragraph, if interested. Descoware differentiates itself from Le Creuset in a number of ways. For starters, the pieces are lighter weight and more refined. Their enameling process, over the years has proven itself more durable/chip resistant, and I find their designs/shape even more contemporary. “
NEED A HANDLE..NOT THE SCREW IN TYPE..NEEDS TO FIT OVER A SQUARE PIECE UP NEXT TO THE POT AND BE DRILLED ALL THE WAY THRU SO IT CAN BE HELD TO THE POT WITH A NUT..YEAH,I KNOW,GOOD LUCK ON THAT ONE..
Looking to trade/purchase a lid for my dutch oven. Needs to be 10 & 1/2″ wide.
I currently have a round dutch oven lid that is 9 & 3/4″ wide that I would consider trading.
i found a little yellow pot but its a ashtry made by descoware are these rare?
I have seen the ashtrays on EBAY a few times. I have seen the deep fryer only once, and the two kinds of trivets shown on this site in the photo area.
All the items are getting somewhat rare as time goes on, and we collect and use what we have. That is what makes a FIND such a joy!!!

i have a large coffee/teapot i recently saw another one advertised with a middle part. is there a place to buy replacement parts or do you just have to find them by chance. thanks robyn
(oopsie… late reply) Coffee pots that still have their parts are fairly scarce. If you find one that is complete… better snap it up!
