This is a wonderful patterned lid that goes with a solid blue divided casserole base. The pattern on the lid is a blue vine plant arranged in a filigree pattern around the edges of the opal white lid. It is a promotional item is named New Horizon, but we are unsure about the actual date of the release. There is certainly bound to be some confusion between this piece and the regular issue Horizon Blue set from the 70s. Because Horizon Blue is from the 70s we are thinking that there is a good chance that this promo item is also sometime from the 70s.

The lid itself is not divided, unlike some of the other divided dishes. We have seen a number of auctions where the lid is mixed with a base of a different color. The lid is marked as 945C. The bright blue of the correct base certainly does look a bit like the Horizon Blue solid color items. The base, as usual for these type of items, is not marked with a number but does have a capacity of 1.5 quart.

Ours came with a silver colored metal cradle with nice wooden handles. This is one of the few items we have found at the thrift that actually came with the cradle.
