The G&P ceramics company was founded by Graziano Pimpinelli and his family with the collaboration of the most qualified artisans in Deruta, the Umbrian town famous for producing high-quality ceramics for centuries. Among the most recognized firms in Deruta, G&P is known for the quality and refinement of all its products. Graziano Pimpinelli, a master ceramist for more than forty years, personally oversees all aspects of production, from the creation of the forms to the final decoration of each piece, all carried out entirely by hand, following the finest traditions of Deruta.

The organic, irregular form with gracefully curved edges creates a shallow bowl-like shape while maintaining the functionality of a platter. This versatile piece offers numerous possibilities - serve appetizers or fruit, display dried flowers or decorative objects, or simply showcase it as a standalone artistic piece in your curated home.

Perfect for coastal, Mediterranean, or minimalist interiors where craftsmanship and material quality are paramount.
