A serving bowl made of earthenware from Italy’s Nicola Fasano. This spacious bowl is perfect for serving a large salad or a delicious stew. It also works beautifully as a decorative fruit or vegetable bowl on the kitchen counter. The bowl showcases food in an appealing way, making it easy to create a tasteful and decorative presentation, both for everyday meals and festive occasions.
Each bowl is handcrafted with a robust feel and features a glaze that withstands the demands of daily use. The hand-painted design gives each piece a unique appearance with subtle variations in color and texture, with small imperfections being 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.
Earthenware is dishwasher-safe at lower temperatures, but hand washing is recommended to preserve the item’s original finish and extend its lifespan.
