Do you have a favorite plate for a favorite food or special bowl for eating soup or ice cream?  Everyday we have an intimate relationship with our plates and bowls.  Primitiva Pottery and Tile celebrates this relationship. Functional dinnerware does not have to be ordinary.  Primitiva Pottery and Tile dinnerware makes a special experience from eating  a piece of toast, to a bowl of  noodles, to a gourmet meal. 

Primitiva Pottery and Tile dinnerware colors are vibrant and go with colors of food from the earth: guava, mango, dandelion, kiwi, and wisteria.  The eating surfaces are smooth and the exteriors and rims are carved. These colors bridge the source of our food with the vitality we seek from its nourishment. The colors encourage us to celebrate food and share it with friends.

Primitiva Pottery and Tile dinnerware must be custom ordered.  There is the possibility of plates, salad plates, bread plates, and bowls in any combination. All of my dinnerware is dishwasher safe.

 Primitiva Pottery and Tile offers serving bowls that compliment the dinnerware.  These serving bowls stand alone or enhance a set.  My bowls have a special tripod design upon which they stand.  They are thrown on the wheel, but the foot is hand carved to form three directions and shape the bowl before it is carved. The bowls come in small and medium sizes. These are usually made to order in order to have the color that you wish. All of my serving bowls are dishwasher safe.

I take many steps to make the pieces of dinnerware. The clay is prepared, the basic shape is establish either out of a slab for plates or thrown for a serving bowl.

Sometimes Primitiva Pottery and Tile offers a limited edition of serving dishes such as trays that have designs taken from the Primitiva Tile line. Each is one of a kind.
