The hardest decision I had when deciding to buy this cocotte was which color to purchase.  I don't collect anything buy Rooster figurines for my kitchen, so this was a must have for me.  The detail on this lid is amazing...another Staub work of art.  Like other Staub pieces there are self-basting spikes on the lid to give a more juicy, tasty and tender finished product.  Great size for stews and chilis and small poultry cooking.
