Bring the rustic charm of the Portuguese coastline to your next gathering with the Costa Nova Vila Large Oval Platter in Beige and Blue. Since 1940, Bering’s has been a multi-generational, family-owned destination for those who appreciate the intersection of artisanal craftsmanship and modern durability. This expansive platter serves as a stunning centerpiece, featuring a hand-applied blue rim that dances against a warm, sandy beige reactive glaze—ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike and every meal feels like a curated event.
The beauty of the Vila collection lies in its “imperfect” organic silhouette, which mimics the look of traditional stoneware while benefiting from Costa Nova’s high-fired fine stoneware body. This means that while it looks like a delicate heirloom, it is built to withstand the rigors of a busy kitchen. Its generous oval shape is perfectly suited for serving everything from a whole roasted branzino to a colorful array of grilled Mediterranean vegetables. At Bering’s, we take pride in offering pieces that simplify the art of hosting, and this platter transitions seamlessly from a hot oven to a beautifully set table, embodying the effortless elegance that has defined our collection for over eighty years.
Why you’ll love it:
- Artisanal Reactive Glaze: Features a unique Beige and Blue finish where the colors blend naturally during firing, creating a one-of-a-kind look for every platter.
