PRE-ORDER Il Mio Tavolo Stoneware Patera Serving Bowl with Handles

The Patera Serving Bowl with Handles is a testament to both the rich history of Italian craftsmanship and the vision of Chef Dena Marino. Inspired by traditional Italian pottery-making techniques, the Patera collection blends centuries-old artistry with modern functionality.

The word "Patera" itself hails from ancient Roman culture, where it referred to a wide, shallow dish often used for ceremonial purposes. Over time, this classic design evolved, maintaining its elegant, circular form but adapting to suit the changing needs of everyday life. In modern Italy, the Patera has become a symbol of hospitality and fine dining, often used to serve family-style meals or to display fresh, seasonal produce in Italian homes.

The Patera Serving Bowl with Handles draws on this rich tradition, combining the timeless design of the original Patera with the expertise of Chef Dena Marino, whose passion for Italian cuisine and design shines through in every detail. Handcrafted by skilled artisans in Italy, each piece is unique, showcasing a blend of age-old techniques and contemporary touches. The addition of handles adds both functionality and a modern twist to the traditional form, making it as practical as it is beautiful.

Crafted from high-quality stoneware, this bowl is not only a nod to Italy’s deep-rooted pottery traditions but also a durable and elegant piece that can seamlessly transition from the kitchen to the table. Whether used for serving pasta, salads, or as a display piece for fresh fruit, the Patera Serving Bowl encapsulates the warmth, artistry, and beauty of Italian design while bringing a sense of timeless sophistication to any home.
