This Virginia Casa Strawberry Red Bowl Desert Plate will add a playful burst of Italian countryside charm to your home and is part of the Fragola Collection, a joyful celebration of strawberries and the warm, rustic elegance of handcrafted Tuscan ceramics. This utterly delightful range, finished in a deep and juicy red glaze is designed to bring whimsy, beauty and everyday functionality to your table and kitchen.
Each piece in the Fragola range is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans in Tuscany, using locally sourced clay and traditional methods passed down through generations. From sculpted strawberry-shaped bowls to intricately detailed platters and table accessories, this collection transforms the humble fruit into a work of art, playful yet refined, rustic yet romantic.
The Virginia Casa Strawberry Red Desert Plate measures 23 x 20 cm and captures the nostalgic essence of the strawberry season - garden picking, homemade jam, picnics in the sunshine. The ceramics are modelled and glazed entirely by hand, with the red finish designed to mimic the rich colour of ripe summer strawberries. Glossy and vivid, yet naturally irregular in tone and texture, the finish brings life and authenticity to each item.
The fine detailing, whether it’s the textured surface of a strawberry skin, a leafy rim or the carefully sculpted shape evokes the craftsmanship of traditional Italian pottery, where no two pieces are ever exactly the same. These are joyful, soul-filled ceramics made not for perfection, but for passion.
Whether styled as a standalone piece or part of a full Fragola table setting, these pieces offer a unique way to elevate everyday meal times. Think fresh fruit breakfasts, garden lunches, and impromptu al fresco dinners, each one made just a bit more magical with ceramics that feel lovingly handmade and full of charm.
Since 1971, Virginia Casa has been producing handmade ceramics in the heart of Tuscany, bringing together tradition, art, and emotion. The Fragola range is a perfect example of their philosophy: bringing soul to the table. Each strawberry-shaped dish or berry-hued platter is a conversation starter - a way to reconnect with the beauty of slow living and seasonal pleasures.
