The Giada Oyster bowl is hand-thrown and hand-painted in Tuscany by ceramic artists from Caja Company. Made from authentic Italian faience—a clay tradition dating back to the Renaissance. Each bowl is painted by hand, meaning brushstrokes and color shades vary from piece to piece. The 25 cm diameter makes it large enough for serving but still easy to handle daily.
The faience is fired at high temperatures, giving the surface its characteristic shine and preserving the colors over time. The hand-painted oyster motifs are inspired by Mediterranean food culture, where seafood is traditionally served on ceramic platters. The bowl is perfect for serving fruit, salad, snacks, or as a decorative piece on the kitchen counter.
Care and Maintenance
Hand washing is recommended to best preserve the hand-painted surface. Avoid dishwashers and abrasive sponges.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between faience and stoneware?
Faience is a porous type of clay fired at lower temperatures than stoneware, resulting in a lighter and more decorative finish. Faience is always glazed, while stoneware can be unglazed. Faience has traditionally been used for decorative tableware in Mediterranean countries.
Can the Giada Oyster bowl handle hot dishes?
The bowl can be used for warm dishes, but avoid placing it directly from the fridge into the oven or microwave, as sudden temperature changes can damage the faience. Let hot dishes cool slightly before serving.
Is each Giada bowl completely unique?
Yes, since the bowls are hand-painted, brushstrokes, color shades, and details in the oyster motif vary from bowl to bowl. Small variations in shape may also occur due to hand-throwing. This is part of the Italian craftsmanship.
Is the Giada Oyster bowl a good hostess gift?
Yes, the bowl makes a thoughtful hostess gift for dinner parties or summer visits. Its hand-painted finish and Italian origin give it a personal character, and its size makes it practical for serving.
Where in Italy does Caja Company produce their ceramics?
Caja Company produces their ceramics in Tuscany, a region with centuries-old faience traditions. The area around Montelupo Fiorentino has been the center of Italian majolica since the 1400s.

Handmade & unique product
Most of my products are handmade or hand-painted. This means that there may be variations in color, finish, and minor imperfections. These variations are a natural part of the handmade look and make each product unique. Minor differences are therefore not considered defects.
