The pie plate as I call it, belonged to my Mother-in-law some 45 years ago, she gave it to me right after I married her son. I used it for years until it got a crack across the bottom. I now use it only for a decoration. My plate says Cookin-Ware Health with the patent number 91285. It does not say Neu Deel anywhere.
Best pie plate I ever used.

My husband’s parents, who dealt in antiques in a small way in their retirement in the 70s, had a four-piece set of these which are now among our treasured possessions; they may have been family pieces but I have no idea. The largest piece is 7 3/4″ high, 8″ with the pie-plate “lid”; nesting inside this is a 5″ deep piece, also with a bail; nesting inside this is a 3 1/2″ deep bowl (no bail). It was probably sold as a complete set, and bears the “Neu-Deel” name and trade-mark. The two larger pieces with bails have obviously been used over a flame, as they are blackened on the bottom. Not so the bowl and pie-plate/lid. The latter has a large chip on the rim…probably from falling off when being used as a dome lid? Otherwise the set is in perfect condition. Glad to see others love them as we do!

My husband and I have a dutch oven type bowl, as pictured above but without the handle. A matching pie plate, both with the dark brown glaze, fits on top of the bowl. Both are 10″ in diameter. My husband is 63 and his mother used the bowl for baked beans and the pie plate/cover for baking pumpkin pies his entire life. I have always baked pumpkin pies in the pie plate. The dutch oven is excellent for baked beans. We don’t know where my mother-in-law acquired this set, but, we love it. Ours says Cook Rite on the bottom of both with Pat# 91285. I cannot find it on the US Patent Office website, but, I wonder if this set is much older than the 1934 time frame, since many writers say this set has been in their families since before 1920. One website I found shows the set I have as being a casserole/Dutch Oven with the lid also usable as a pie plate. Thanks to everyone for the wonderful information.

I have the 3.5″ deep dish & the pie plate. I would love to find the 8.5″ deep dish with a handle. Mine are glazed over a cream colored crackle on the inside. I found your site when I googled the information on the bottom. (Which is the same as yours). Thank you for all of the information.

I was so thrilled to find this, I inherited 2 mixing bowls and 2 pie plates from my grandmother – I remember them as being specifically for Thanksgiving and Christmas use – but I have never seen similar ones. Do you know if these are still sold anywhere?

All the information I was able to find is in my article. You might be able to find an idea of the current value from one of the online auction sites or from an antiques dealer. The patent was registered in Ohio, but I have not found any definitive proof of where the items were manufactured.
