Bring the warmth of a Mediterranean table to aperitif hour with this colorful vintage ceramic serving dish. Its sunny mustard-yellow glaze, hand-painted black accents and rustic terracotta construction make it an eye-catching piece for olives, tapas and small appetizers.
Three connected round bowls create separate sections for serving different varieties of olives, nuts, dips, condiments or cocktail snacks. A raised central handle finished with a glossy black top makes the compact server easy to lift and adds a distinctive decorative detail.
The combination of yellow and black gives the piece a wonderfully graphic Mediterranean-inspired character, while the visible terracotta body, glaze variations and fine crazing preserve the rustic appeal of vintage pottery. At just under six inches across, it is substantial enough for entertaining without taking up much room on a crowded table.
Beautiful for an aperitif spread, tapas night, cocktail hour or casual entertaining, it also makes a distinctive addition to a collection of colorful vintage kitchen and Mediterranean-style tableware.
