A beautifully rustic terracotta plate that can be used to cook on the stove or in the oven, before serving at the dinner table. It is also a nice layering option to make each table setting a touch more distinctive and intriguing. 

The beauty of the terracotta material is the way it ages with time, slowly transforming as it builds up a unique patina from daily use. The more it is used, the more full of character it becomes.

Julia and her son Don Carlos run the family workshop named after her, Cerámicas Julia; a business venture that started over 50 years ago out of the need for young Doña Julia to help her parents support her 10 siblings. Today, Cerámicas Julia contributes to the social and economic wellbeing of the overall community of Guaduas.
