Guardian Service cookware (GS), aka Guardian Ware, is a highly sought-after collectible for a variety of reasons: the heavy-duty construction of this hammered aluminum waterless cookware makes it almost bullet-proof; the excellent way the cookware prepares food; and the nostalgia of cooking with the same type of cookware your parents or grandparents did. During the pre-WWII years, this cookware had metal lids. But, because of the rationing during the War, the lids were then made from glass. One of the main selling points about GS cookware, is as "Dual-purpose cooking and table service equipment". You can cook your food in it, and then set it right on your table to serve from, on hotplates of course.

This is in great vintage condition. No chips or cracks in lid, signs of use on bottom of dish.
