Saxony — long known to collectors as “Tree of Life” — is a 1967 promotional casserole with a dark-blue framed motif of a flowering vase flanked by two birds on a turquoise body. It went years without collectors knowing its real name, and its bird design is often mistaken for the Friendship pattern.

What it’s worth
A Saxony casserole without its lid runs about $40–70, with the lid $60–100, and a complete example with the original wooden-handled cradle and warmer $90–150 or more. It was a single-piece promo, so there’s no full line to chase — the casserole and its accessories are the whole pattern.
Collector note: Sold new for $6.95 in 1967, it was known only as “Tree of Life” until the official name “Saxony” was rediscovered around 2010.
