Serving Plates - Gessato Design Store https://shop.gessato.com/home-living/tabletop/dining/serving-plates/ Contemporary Design Shop, Modern Furniture & Home Accessories Wed, 02 Sep 2026 23:30:36 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.6 Cabbage Concave Leaf Platter https://shop.gessato.com/cabbage-concave-leaf-platter/ https://shop.gessato.com/cabbage-concave-leaf-platter/#respond Wed, 02 Sep 2026 23:30:35 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=178977 The Cabbage Concave Leaf Platter is a deep serving piece from Bordallo Pinheiro’s Cabbage collection. Shaped as a single cabbage leaf, it reproduces the plant’s central rib, branching veins, irregular perimeter, and naturally folded surface in glazed earthenware.

Unlike the flatter leaf platters in the collection, this version curves inward to create a generous 1.22-liter capacity. At just over 10 inches long, it works well for salads, roasted vegetables, fruit, pasta, appetizers, and shared side dishes without occupying the space of a conventional large serving bowl.

The rich green glaze settles into the molded surface, making the veins and folds of the leaf particularly visible. Pair it with plates, bowls, and larger serving pieces from the Cabbage collection or use it on its own as a distinctive serving dish.

Made in Portugal from earthenware, the Concave Leaf Platter is microwave and dishwasher safe. Bordallo Pinheiro does not recommend oven use or exposure to sudden temperature changes.

Cabbage Crooked Leaf Serving Bowl https://shop.gessato.com/cabbage-crooked-leaf-serving-bowl/ https://shop.gessato.com/cabbage-crooked-leaf-serving-bowl/#respond Wed, 02 Sep 2026 08:14:30 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=178970 The Cabbage Crooked Leaf Serving Bowl turns a single cabbage leaf into a deep, asymmetrical serving piece. Part of Bordallo Pinheiro’s Cabbage collection, it follows the veins, folds, and irregular edges of the plant, with the leaf rising higher on one side to create its distinctive crooked profile.

Measuring almost 14 inches long and holding 1.2 liters, it has enough depth for salads, roasted vegetables, fruit, pasta, and side dishes while remaining open enough to work as a serving platter for appetizers or smaller foods. The green glaze settles into the molded veins and raised areas, emphasizing the leaf structure across the earthenware surface.

Made in Portugal, the bowl is suitable for both dishwasher and microwave use. It can be combined with the plates, bowls, platters, and serving pieces in the wider Bordallo Pinheiro Cabbage collection.

Cabbage Narrow Leaf Platter https://shop.gessato.com/cabbage-narrow-leaf-platter/ https://shop.gessato.com/cabbage-narrow-leaf-platter/#respond Mon, 31 Aug 2026 17:02:47 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=178881 The Cabbage Narrow Leaf Platter is a long earthenware serving piece from Bordallo Pinheiro’s Cabbage collection. Formed as a single green cabbage leaf, the platter uses pronounced veins, an irregular outline, and variations in the green surface to reproduce the structure of the plant in ceramic.

Its narrow proportions make it particularly useful on a table. At almost 16 inches long and only about 5 inches deep, it provides enough space for appetizers, sliced fruit, cheese, small desserts, or hors d’oeuvres without occupying the footprint of a conventional serving platter.

Bordallo Pinheiro has produced ceramic tableware in Portugal since 1884, with natural forms playing a central role in the work of founder Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro. The Cabbage collection continues that tradition with functional pieces based directly on the shapes of cabbage leaves.

The platter is made in Portugal from earthenware and is suitable for both the dishwasher and microwave. Oven use is not recommended, and the manufacturer advises against sudden temperature changes.

Cabbage Oval Platter https://shop.gessato.com/cabbage-oval-platter/ https://shop.gessato.com/cabbage-oval-platter/#respond Tue, 25 Aug 2026 16:24:36 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=178538 he Cabbage Oval Platter turns one of Bordallo Pinheiro’s most recognizable motifs into a generous serving piece. Its surface is modeled as overlapping cabbage leaves, with raised veins, irregular edges, and layers of hand-painted color that settle into the earthenware relief.

Available in two sizes, the Small measures 14.8 inches long and has plenty of room for vegetables, sandwiches, cheeses, pastries, or a main course for sharing. The Large, at 17 inches long, works particularly well for roast meats, whole fish, larger salads, grilled vegetables, or an abundant arrangement of fruit and appetizers.

Choose Green for the classic Cabbage treatment or Beige for a lighter version that puts more emphasis on the molded leaf texture. Both are made in Portugal from earthenware and work well as serving pieces at the center of a table. Dishwasher safe and suitable for microwave reheating. Avoid conventional oven use and sudden temperature changes.

Cabbage Leaf Platter https://shop.gessato.com/cabbage-leaf-platter/ https://shop.gessato.com/cabbage-leaf-platter/#respond Tue, 25 Aug 2026 09:17:40 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=178506 The Cabbage Leaf Platter takes the shape of a single oversized cabbage leaf, complete with a thick central rib, branching veins, curled edges, and layers of green glaze that settle into the ceramic relief. It is one of the most straightforward—and useful—pieces in Bordallo Pinheiro’s long-running Cabbage collection.

Made in Portugal from earthenware, the platter comes in two sizes. The Medium measures 9.8 inches long and works well for olives, sliced tomatoes, small appetizers, pastries, or a side dish for two. The Large, at 11 inches long, gives you more room for cheeses, grilled vegetables, fruit, sandwiches, or a shared starter.

The irregular leaf shape also makes the pieces useful beyond formal serving. Use one for lemons beside the bar, snacks on a coffee table, or as part of a mixed table setting with simpler white dishes.

Both sizes are hand-painted in green and dishwasher safe. They can also be used in the microwave for reheating. Avoid conventional oven use and sudden temperature changes.

Cabbage Cheese Tray with Lid https://shop.gessato.com/cabbage-cheese-tray-with-lid/ https://shop.gessato.com/cabbage-cheese-tray-with-lid/#respond Mon, 24 Aug 2026 18:52:24 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=178497 The Cabbage Cheese Tray brings Bordallo Pinheiro’s famous vegetable-inspired ceramics to one of the most convivial parts of the table. Made in Portugal from earthenware, the round serving plate is paired with a matching domed lid modeled as overlapping cabbage leaves, with the central stalk forming a natural handle.

Measuring approximately 13.6 inches across, it provides plenty of room for a selection of cheeses, from a whole Camembert or Brie to wedges of hard and soft cheese arranged with fruit or accompaniments. The covered format makes the presentation feel complete before the lid is lifted at the table.

The deep green glaze settles into the molded veins and folds of the leaves, emphasizing the dimensional ceramic surface from every angle. At almost 7 inches high with the lid in place, this is also a substantial centerpiece when not in use.

Dishwasher safe and suitable for microwave reheating. Avoid conventional oven use and abrupt temperature changes.

Cabbage Cake Stand https://shop.gessato.com/cabbage-cake-stand/ https://shop.gessato.com/cabbage-cake-stand/#respond Sun, 23 Aug 2026 08:45:13 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=178450 The Cabbage Cake Stand brings one of Bordallo Pinheiro’s best-known motifs to the dessert table. Its broad top is shaped like overlapping cabbage leaves, complete with raised veins, curled edges, and layers of hand-painted color that emphasize the ceramic relief.

Made in Portugal from earthenware, the stand measures just over 12 inches across, giving it enough room for a full-size cake, tart, pastries, or a pile of fruit. The raised pedestal brings food above the surrounding plates while also making the leaf pattern visible from across the table.

Choose Green for the classic Bordallo Pinheiro cabbage treatment, with deep variations of leafy color, or Pink for a more unexpected version of the same form. Both work equally well for birthday cakes, afternoon pastries, cheeses, or as a serving centerpiece when entertaining.

The cake stand is dishwasher safe and suitable for microwave reheating. Avoid conventional oven use and abrupt temperature changes.

Cloudy Butterflies Cake Stand https://shop.gessato.com/cloudy-butterflies-cake-stand/ https://shop.gessato.com/cloudy-butterflies-cake-stand/#respond Sat, 22 Aug 2026 09:49:30 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=178428 The Cloudy Butterflies Cake Stand turns a serving piece into part of the occasion. Designed by Claudia Schiffer for Bordallo Pinheiro, it takes inspiration from butterflies and the English countryside, interpreted through the Portuguese ceramic maker’s richly modeled earthenware.

The broad cream-colored plate resembles an oversized flower, with softly scalloped petals and a hand-painted butterfly resting at one edge. A pedestal base raises cakes, tarts, pastries, or a pile of macarons above the rest of the table while leaving the decoration visible even when the stand is in use.

At 15.4 inches in diameter, it is generously sized for a full cake and substantial enough to work as a centerpiece between celebrations. Use it for birthdays and desserts, bring it out for afternoon tea, or leave it on a dining table filled with fruit when there is no cake in sight.

Made in Portugal from earthenware. Dishwasher safe; avoid abrupt temperature changes and conventional oven use.

Tomato Tureen https://shop.gessato.com/tomato-tureen/ https://shop.gessato.com/tomato-tureen/#respond Tue, 18 Aug 2026 14:01:03 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=178236 The Bordallo Pinheiro Tomato Tureen enlarges a ripe tomato into a 4.5-liter serving vessel. The segmented red body forms the bowl, while the green calyx and curled stem top the removable lid. Hand painting adds deeper color around the creases, leaves, and stem, emphasizing the modeled surface rather than covering it with one uniform shade of red.

Tomato soup is the obvious match, but it is hardly the only one. Bring it out for chilled gazpacho or pappa al pomodoro in summer, then use it for minestrone, chowder, chili, curry, braised beans, or mashed potatoes during colder months. Prepared hot food should be transferred into the tureen after cooking, as oven use is not recommended.

Remove the lid and the tureen becomes a substantial open serving bowl. It can hold pasta salad at a buffet, fruit salad at brunch, bread rolls at a holiday dinner, or a generous pile of lemons and oranges on a kitchen island. The leafy lid makes the reveal part of the presentation without requiring elaborate table styling.

Between meals, the closed tureen can remain on a sideboard, open shelf, or countertop as a sculptural ceramic object. At almost 12 inches wide, it has enough scale to stand on its own rather than disappearing among smaller dishes and accessories.

The earthenware is microwave safe for reheating and dishwasher safe. Never run it empty in the microwave, use an oven mitt when removing heated earthenware, and avoid sudden temperature changes. Because the tureen weighs almost five pounds before it is filled, carry it carefully with both hands.

Crackle Bamboo Serving Tray https://shop.gessato.com/xenia-taler-crackle-bamboo-serving-tray/ https://shop.gessato.com/xenia-taler-crackle-bamboo-serving-tray/#respond Mon, 13 Jul 2026 15:03:02 +0000 https://shop.gessato.com/?post_type=product&p=175574 The Crackle Bamboo Serving Tray by Xenia Taler combines the appearance of aged crackle-glazed pottery with the lighter weight of a bamboo and melamine composite. Its warm brown pattern gives the surface depth and variation, while the rectangular format provides enough room for drinks, breakfast, snacks, or serving dishes.

The tray can also be used as a platter, making it useful for both carrying and presenting food. Its raised edge helps keep glasses, plates, and smaller objects contained while moving between the kitchen, dining room, patio, or bar.

At 15.5 inches long, it is large enough for everyday entertaining without becoming awkward to handle or store. The composite material is free from BPA, PVC, and phthalates. Handwashing is recommended to preserve the printed finish, and the tray should not be used in a microwave.
