Vida Faenza Green and White Melamine Salad Plates by Beatriz Ball - Set of 4

Green pattern against white melamine gives the Vida Faenza salad plates a lively border and a fresh everyday character. Each nine-inch plate suits a starter, small lunch or dessert, with four matching pieces in the set. They can join the Faenza dinner plates or add pattern above a plain white service indoors and outside.

“I enjoy a smaller patterned plate as the first note at a meal. With these green-and-white plates, a plain dinner plate beneath and an uncomplicated napkin can keep the whole setting relaxed and clear.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Care & Ownership

Wash on the top rack of the dishwasher, or by hand with mild detergent and a soft sponge. Presoak dried food in warm water so it lifts without hard scrubbing; avoid abrasive pads and cleaners. Do not use in an oven or microwave. Dry before stacking, and place pieces gently together to protect the modeled rims.

Maker / Heritage

Cuban-born designer Beatriz Ball began working with metal artisans outside Mexico City in 1991. Her signature metalware is still made one piece at a time in the brand’s own foundry in Mexico: sand casting gives the forms their character, and successive hand-polishing stages bring out the alloy’s silvery luster. More than twelve pairs of hands take part in the making. The appeal is that combination of expressive shape and useful purpose, with the warmth of handwork and none of silver’s routine tarnish polishing.

The Vida collection carries that attention to serving shapes into melamine, with sculptural rims and generous forms made for relaxed meals indoors and out.
