Aperitivo evenings are ingrained in Italians’ way of life, as we love to enjoy some snacks and drinks before sitting down for a meal normally during sunset or the blue hour between 5 and 8pm. These beautifully handmade glazed plates are versatile yet spectacular. Fill them up as sharing plates with a variety of cold cuts, cheeses, olives, crostini, or any delectable appetiser.
In addition to being a simple decoration, the stained effect on ceramics is reminiscent of ancient beliefs and customs that tie us to nature which is an important element in Apulian life.
In fact, the master craftsmen obtain the stained effect (smamriato) by spraying the plates with bunches of twigs from the Mediterranean shrubs, dipped in the residual glaze of colors. This has always made every piece unique and special.
The white and green shade is a popular selection because it is a traditional color that is in most Apulian homes.
