Descoware

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Descoware is a brand of cookware that was manufactured in Belgium beginning in the mid-1940's. The company was originally called Bruxelles Ware, but later changed its name to Descoware, coming from the US name of the company, the D.E. Sanford Company.

The cookware gained huge popularity when it was endorsed by Julia Child on her cooking show in the 1960's.

The company would eventually stop manufacturing this brand of cookware due to rabid competition from, among others, Le Creuset. It is still a sought after brand of cookware; single pieces fetch over $150.00 USD on eBay.
