Beloved for its sophisticated simplicity, versatility, and durability, Lastra is our bestselling collection. The understated elegance, clean lines, and unique shape of the Lastra white oyster plate make it a timeless choice for your home. Lastra's design was inspired by the circular wooden slabs used for centuries to create the outer mold in cheesemaking throughout Italy. When fashioned together with twine, the hoop was left with a slight overlap to help maintain the shape of the cheese mold. Maestro molder Stefano Roselli incorporates the overlapping detail into the entire design, from its foot to its rim. A dark dusting on the edges of each piece suggests the ash that was used to preserve these cheeses and highlights each unique silhouette.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered 2 plates, which will only be used twice a year, Christmas Eve and New Years Eve, when oysters are a family tradition.. can’t wait to serve on and show these beauties off!. Jeffry F.. Mon Jul 18 2022
