Gather ‘round.

Meet the Maker
Costa Nova
Portugal
Costa Nova was born in a small Portuguese fishing village, and now their pieces are gracing tables all over the world. Each dish is inspired by life, family, friends, and good food—all things we love—plus a mission to create top-quality stoneware. It’s all sustainable, too, made from natural resources found right in Portugal (wow).

Beautiful and understated design
I love the heft and understated beauty of these handmade dishes. I have the entire line to serve 8 and they make a gorgeous table and can be dressed up or down. I use them every day and for entertaining. I especially love the smaller size of the pasta bowl, you can serve a normal, modest portion of anything, but not huge, and also leaves a room for serving other courses. Love !

Great plates.
Great plates. They look like they have a matte finish, but I haven’t noticed any scratches from utensils (which is common for ceramics with matte finishes). so I’m super excited about that. Used them a few times now, and am a fan. Seem to do well in the dishwasher and microwave as well.
