There’s a pattern here.

Before you meet this platter, fair warning: It just might steal the attention from whatever you set on top. We think that Mediterranean-inspired pattern is to blame—after all, it was hand-pressed using lace as part of a process involving 15 different artists. (It’s true! Slab-rolling, sitting in the sun to dry, hand-glazing, and kiln-firing are just a few other steps.) It all comes courtesy of South Africa–based pottery studio Wonki Ware, who teams up with creatives from disadvantaged backgrounds and uses locally sourced clay and rainwater to craft eye-catching wares. We’ll leave you to dish the appetizers.
