Vila White Blue-Rimmed Stoneware Dinner Plate by COSTA NOVA

The Vila dinner plate by COSTA NOVA combines a plain white center outlined with a fine blue rim in White and Blue. Made in Portugal from fine stoneware, it provides a simple foundation for a main course, with detail kept around the edge of the food.

“I like this fine blue line when the table linen carries a busier pattern; it gives the plate definition without another floral layer.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Care & Ownership

Dishwasher, microwave, oven and freezer safe. For oven use, do not exceed 480°F. Avoid sudden temperature changes: never move a hot piece directly onto a cold or wet surface, or a frozen piece directly into a hot oven. Do not use over a direct flame. Wash with mild dish soap and a soft sponge; avoid abrasive pads. Hand washing is preferable for large or delicate pieces. Let each piece cool before washing and dry thoroughly before stacking, with care around the rims.

Maker / Heritage

COSTA NOVA belongs to the Portuguese Grestel group, whose ceramics production began in Vagos in 1998. Its fine stoneware brings together natural clay and minerals, contemporary production and the work of people who shape, decorate and finish the pieces by hand. The collections use those processes differently: Beja takes its cue from traditional enameled tableware, Alentejo from the landscape and decorative character of its namesake region, and Vila from Portuguese floral decoration. The same design house extends its table setting to materials such as linen and oak, with the construction and care specified separately for each item.
