Barro large oval dish, green (36cm)

The large Barro Oval Dish is a versatile addition to the tableware collection, enriching the dining table with the warmth and simplicity of terracotta. The lush olive green glaze, reminiscent of ripe Mediterranean olives kissed by the sun, brings a sense of natural elegance to the table. Its deep, earthy hue effortlessly complements white and brown tableware or creates playful contrast with colourful dishes in blues, yellows, and greys.

Designed by Rui Pereira for Hay, the Barro is part of a tableware collection that brings the warmth and simplicity of terracotta to the dining table. Barro, meaning ‘red clay’ in Portuguese, reflects the designer’s appreciation for the traditions and applications of this ancient material. The raised edge of the Barro dish, combined with its soft appearance and balanced proportions, creates a sense of stability and grounded beauty, making the plate both practical and pleasing to use.

Crafted in Portugal from durable terracotta, the Barro mixes two contrasting paths in craft: the centuries-old tradition of Portuguese ceramics and the visionary spirit of next-generation international design.
