Tableware as a gift
The best gift is one that stays in use. Tableware does that: it comes out of the cupboard every day, and each time there is a small moment of remembering the person who gave it. Here you will find the items best suited to that, from 20 to 96 euro.
A cook's gift for someone who loves to be at the table
Someone who loves to cook usually has enough pans. What is more often missing is something that shows the dish off well, and that is exactly where the space for a good cook's gift lies.
The salad bowl is the one we give most. Twenty-eight centimetres, large enough for the whole table.
The olive oil bottle is the second that works well. Seven hundred millilitres, with a handle so you pour with one hand. It looks beautiful on the worktop rather than in the cupboard. In southern Europe oil is also a classic gift for a new home, so as a present for someone who has just moved it fits perfectly.
Looking for something for someone who loves to have guests? Then the cake plates are a good choice. They come as a set, so you give something to lay the table with straight away.
What to give at which budget
Around 25 euros you give a set of coffee cups . Two pieces, stackable, with ridges in the ceramic so they are pleasant to hold. It is the first thing someone picks up every morning.
For 34 euros the olive oil bottle is a gift with an occasion to it, certainly for a new home or a move.
Around 58 euros you reach the salad bowl. It is the piece people keep putting off buying themselves and are therefore glad to receive, and large enough to give as the only present.
From 60 euros there are the cake plates, mini dishes and small bowls, per set. Nice when you want to give something that feels complete without buying a whole tableware set straight away.
And if you are still in doubt, a gift card gives the recipient the choice and gives you the certainty that it will be used.
Which colour to choose for someone else
Look at the interior of the person receiving it, because that tells you more than the tableware they have now.
Light wood and white walls call for beige or off-white. Dark kitchens, concrete and steel come out beautifully with green and deeper tones. If you are in doubt, go for beige or sand, because they suit almost anything.
Because all our lines share the same matte finish and natural colours, a single item always connects to what someone buys with it later. A set of cups from today will still suit the tableware set they pick out two years from now.
For which occasion
For a housewarming, something that goes straight onto the worktop or the table works well. The olive oil bottle and the salad bowl both do that, and together they make a gift that several people can chip in for.
For a birthday you usually give on your own and the budget is lower. Then adding is smarter than replacing: a set of coffee cups or cake plates goes straight into use.
Around Christmas and the holidays it shifts towards the table as a whole. That is when the salad bowl is the perfect eye-catcher for the dining table.

Frequently asked questions
Something the dish ends up on rather than something it is made in. A salad bowl or a serving bowl is therefore used more often than a kitchen gadget.
Our giftcards are valid for up to 3 years after purchase.
Certainly! We work with permanent collections and not with seasonal lines, so you can add to your set years later.
Everything is sent carefully packaged, without plastic. The coffee cups come in sets of 2 in a beautiful gift box. We do not wrap products in gift paper.
Yes! All our tableware is dishwasher and microwave safe.
No. Because of the reactive glaze and the finishing by hand, there are natural variations in the finish and the shape. That is exactly what makes our tableware feel alive.
Yes, of course you can mix and match! For our ceramic tableware from Portugal we chose matte, natural and timeless colours. Perfect to combine endlessly.
We usually ship within one working day. Around the holidays it is busy (with the carriers too), so order before mid December if it needs to arrive in time.
Ceramics are fragile, which is why all our orders are packed with great care and extra sturdily. If something does arrive broken, please get in touch. After verification by photo we will make sure you receive a replacement as quickly as possible.
