Last winter, French cookware brand 'Le Creuset' introduced a baby blue cast iron pot, inspired by the Disney hit 'Beauty and the Beast.' To follow up, the company recently introduced 'Soleil' -- a golden pot inspired by Belle's princess gown.
The Disney-inspired cookware features two embroidered red roses, with a delicate handle that reads "Be Our Guest," a reference to one of the film's popular songs of the same name. The cast iron pot's gorgeous aesthetic would even appeal to those who aren't fans of the Disney film, as its detailing is both subtle and stunning. This limited edition, Disney-inspired cooking vessel, which can hold nearly three quarts, will be released in store's in September.
