Ray Terracotta Mini Plate in Blue by Casa Cubista

Each piece of beautiful Ray tableware is hand-made from terracotta in Portugal. We love the charming effect of the hand-painted brushstrokes paired with fresh colors and simple lines. The resulting pieces are perfectly modern with an artisanal feel. 

Each Ray mini plate is made from terracotta clay and dried in the sun. After the first firing, each piece is carefully hand-painted and glaze is applied. The plate is fired once more before undergoing a quality control inspection.

4.8 inches wide and 0.4 inches high.

To maintain the integrity of the pieces (i.e., color, glaze), dishwasher use is not recommended.

The underside of the plate has a glazed terracotta finish. 

Casa Cubista was founded in 2016 with the idea of sharing Portuguese design and discoveries with friends around the world. Born in Olhão, a bustling fishing port on Portugal's Algarve coast, the name Cubista comes from the unusual whitewashed and tiled cubist style of buildings found in the alleys and streets of the old town. 

Casa Cubista's terracotta production is lead by Rui, who's family has been in the pottery business for 200 years! Rui is a master on the potter's wheel (he started in the family business when he was 8). The Ray collection of tableware is painted by his aunt Regina, and other talented painters.

Prior to first use, all pieces should be washed by hand in hot soapy water, well rinsed and allowed to air dry. Some marks in the glaze are natural and expected, as is some crazing / crackling. This will not affect the use or durability of the pieces. As with most hand-made items, no two plates are identical.
