The plate is made in Italy from fired clay with a white tin glaze, characteristic of authentic faience. The oyster motif is hand-painted, meaning brush strokes, color tones, and details vary from plate to plate. The 26 cm diameter makes it suitable both as a dinner plate and a serving dish for shellfish, tapas, or starters.
Care and Maintenance
Hand washing is recommended to best preserve the hand-painted surface. Avoid dishwashers and abrasive sponges, as the tin glaze may wear over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between faience and porcelain plates?
Faience is fired clay with a tin glaze, while porcelain is fired at higher temperatures and is denser. Faience has a more rustic surface and is lighter, whereas porcelain is harder and more translucent. Faience plates like Giada often feature hand-painted details and natural variations.
Is the Giada oyster plate dishwasher safe?
Hand washing is recommended to protect the hand-painted surface. Dishwashers can gradually wear down the tin glaze and color details, especially with high temperatures and strong detergents.
Is the plate suitable for serving hot dishes?
Yes, faience withstands heat from ovens and microwaves but avoid sudden temperature changes. The plate can be used for both hot and cold dishes — from gratinated oysters to chilled shellfish and salads.
Is a hand-painted oyster plate a good hostess gift?
Yes, especially for hosts who love sea themes, shellfish, or Italian ceramics. It’s practical for serving but decorative enough to hang on the wall. Pair it with a bottle of white wine or fresh oysters for a complete gift.
Why do hand-painted faience plates vary in appearance?
Because each plate is painted by hand by Italian artisans. Brush strokes, color intensity, and motif placement are never exactly the same, making each piece unique. Small irregularities in the glaze are normal and a sign of genuine craftsmanship.

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.
