Costa Nova Brisa Ria Blue Oval Plate/Platter
Fine Stoneware. Made in Portugal.
Distinctive coastal-inspired design
The warm breeze that blows from the east and cascades along the Algarve coast with fruity aromas and the fresh flavors of Ria Formosa was the inspiration for this collection. The blended white and blue glazes and organic shapes transport us to the intricate landscape of lagoons, canals, salt works, and sandy beaches stretching across deserted islands. This collection adds light to every gathering and turns any table into a memorable experience. The organic shapes and mix of reactive glazes make each piece one of a kind.
