It is great ... I was so excited to find this brand and pattern! The plate is beautiful - design is amazing.. Arthleen. Spicewood, TX. Thu Sep 17 2020

Taking inspiration from the natural materials of sand, clay, and water. The shapes are soft and inviting with pleasantly rounded edges and a slightly rough surface in some areas and glazed in others. Made from colored clay and a unique mix of quartz, minerals, and oxide. Stoneware is defined as a group of ceramic products and is used to produce plates, dishes, cachepots, and bowls, molded at very high temperatures using special casting techniques. The high temperature during the firing process ensures stoneware is more stable than clay and less translucent than porcelain. The colors, shapes, appearance of the glaze as well as the overall look depend on the firing temperature and time and may vary slightly from piece to piece - each piece is unique and may show individual structures and shades.

Planned on using one as a butter dish. Like all 4 so much, probably won’t use them as such.. Elizabeth. Rohnert Park, CA. Thu Mar 20 2025

A comprehensive line of plates, trays, glasses, bowls, carafes, coffee cups, and sugar bowls. The line's individuality is down to the fact that each model presents a different pattern inspired by the molds that were once used for making jellies. The overlapping sections and colorful juxtapositions create an imaginative yet discreet ensemble that is both creative and sophisticated.

From our Iberian collection—a journey to the sandy coast inspired this motif. We've reinterpreted the region's stunning painted tiles onto key accent pieces, such as this dessert/salad plate.

Gives such a pop of color displayed in my kitchen.. Iris. Durham, NC. Mon Sep 11 2023
