Handcrafted in Granada, Spain, using techniques dating back more than five centuries, Pomelo Casas terracotta ceramics are one-of-a-kind works of functional art. This serving platter features a shiny ivory glaze with a hand-painted rim and stripes radiating out from the centerwe liken the effect to a platter-sized starlight mint. This 11.5-inch platter is sized for serving at holiday gatherings: Use it to show off a big roast, family-sized portions of sides (such as carrots and mashed potatoes) or a selection of holiday cookies. The glazed terracotta is both dishwasher- and microwave-safe; the unglazed base also allows the ceramic to breathe and retain heat naturally so your food stays warm (or cool, depending on serving temperature). And like all of Pomelo Casas offerings, no two bowls are the same due to small variations in the glaze and brushwork.

Banner Title: From Granada with LoveBanner Description: Interior designer Francesca de la Fuente grew up in southern Spain in a house filled with her mothers collection of hand-painted fajalauza ceramics. Incorporating the bright colors and one-of-a-kind pieces into her design work turned out to be harder than she thought; only five workshops in Granada still make them. Eventually, she managed to track down a family-run producerthe same one who made her moms ceramics, as it turns outand Pomelo Casa was born.
