Digoin/Sarreguemines, Small, French Lidded Casserole Dish, Circa 1800s

This small, lidded casserole dish with a Digoin/Sarreguemines back mark is from the last quarter of the 19th century, as evidenced by this mark. Thank you to https://www.infofaience.com/en/marks/sarreguemines-marks for the information on faience marks. They write,

"Consolidation and the transition to the new century
In 1871, due to the annexation of the Mosselle by Germany, Alexandre de Geiger left Sarreguemines and moved to Paris. His son, Paul de Geiger, took over the management. Two new factories were built in Digoin and in Vitry-le-François. Paul de Geiger died in 1913, the same year when the company Utzschnieder & Co was split in two ventures: one managed the factory of Sarreguemines, the other one the French factories (Digoin and Vitry-le-François). In 1919, after the first world war, the different factories are joined together under the name Sarreguemines-Digoin-Vitry-le-François and are managed by the Cazal family. During the Second World War the factory was seized from 1942 until 1945 during which time it was managed by Villeroy & Boch."

The dish measures 5 ⅛" x 3 ¾" with a depth of 2".

Any visible marks. blemishes, and indents are a result of the manufacturing process and not damage that occurred after production.
