Side plate made of earthenware from theItalian brand Fratelli Colì. This elegant plate is perfect for both everyday meals and festive occasions, enhancing the dining experience with its distinctive charm. It’s equally suited for the breakfast table, a cake party, or as an appetizer plate for dinners.
Each plate is handmade with a robust feel and features a glaze that withstands the demands of daily use. The handcrafted and hand-painted design gives each plate a unique appearance, with subtle variations in color and texture, where small imperfections are a natural part of traditional craftsmanship.
Stella, which means "star" in Italian, refers to the hand-painted, distinctive patterns of small blue stars/flowers, framed by two thin blue lines. These details give the robust ceramics a rustic feel, immediately evoking images of an Italian family dinner among olive groves and lemon trees.
The lines are painted by placing the ceramics on a rotating wheel controlled by a foot pedal. Delicate brush strokes create the fine lines as the wheel rotates. Each blue star is applied with a small stamp, resulting in subtle variations. Each product is unique, with brush strokes adding a personal touch and creating variations in the design.
The ceramics are made of majolica, a durable earthenware that is dishwasher-safe. However, to preserve the original finish and extend the product's lifespan, hand washing is recommended.
