The Giada collection from Caja Company is crafted in Italy from genuine faience – fired clay with a white tin glaze. Each oyster plate is hand-painted, meaning color shades and brush strokes vary from piece to piece. With a diameter of 22 cm, the plate works well as a dessert plate or for starters like oysters, shrimp, or tapas. Compared to stoneware, faience has a slightly porous surface, so hand washing is recommended to preserve the painting over time.
Care and Maintenance
Hand washing is recommended. The porous surface of faience can absorb water during prolonged dishwasher cycles, which over time may damage the painting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between faience and stoneware plates?
Faience is fired at a lower temperature than stoneware, resulting in a lighter and more porous ceramic. Faience typically has a white tin glaze as a base for hand-painting, while stoneware is usually denser and more durable. Faience requires gentler handling – especially when washing.
Is the Giada oyster plate dishwasher safe?
Hand washing is recommended. Although some faience products can withstand the dishwasher, the high heat and harsh detergents can gradually wear down the hand-painting and tin glaze. Hand washing best preserves the plate.
Is the Giada oyster plate suitable as a hostess gift?
Yes, especially for hosts who love coastal style, Italian ceramics, or collect hand-painted dishes. Pair it with a bottle of white wine or fresh oysters for a thoughtful gift for the summer host.
How can I use an oyster plate if I’m not serving shellfish?
Use it as a dessert plate, for tapas, antipasti, bread with dip, or as a decorative plate on the wall. The 22 cm size makes it ideal for small dishes – and the motif works well as a purely visual element too.
Why do the colors vary on hand-painted Caja Company plates?
Because each plate is painted by hand by artisans in Italy. Brush strokes, color intensity, and details will never be 100% identical – that’s exactly what makes each piece unique and authentically handmade.

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.
