Dinner Plate Il Mare, made from earthenware by Italian Nicola Fasano. A perfect plate for both lunch and dinner, whether it's a casual weekday meal or a festive occasion. The dinner plate highlights the food in an appealing way, making it easy to create a tasteful and decorative presentation. Even the simplest pasta dish becomes a work of art, as the plate’s elegant design and unique details provide a beautiful setting that enhances every meal.
Each plate is handcrafted with a sturdy feel and finished with a glaze that withstands everyday use. The handmade and hand-painted design gives each plate an individual appearance, with subtle variations in color and texture. Small imperfections may appear as a natural part of the traditional craftsmanship.
"Il Mare," which means "the sea" in Italian, describes this deep blue porcelain series. The porcelain is hand-painted with a so-called splatter pattern, where the blue color is randomly splashed onto the ceramic to create a unique and individual character. In the Il Mare series, a lot of color has been used to almost entirely cover the white base, which still shines through the splashes, creating an exciting character.
Blue is an incredibly versatile color that can easily be combined with both vibrant and muted shades. We love to combine Il Mare with the Papa Giro and Scatole series, where the blue color creates a common thread in the table setting, while the different patterns add playfulness.
The earthenware is dishwasher safe at lower temperatures, but handwashing is recommended to extend the plate’s lifespan and preserve its original finish.
