LABORATÓRIO D'ESTÓRIAS Monte das Oliveiras - Olive oil dipping plate

‘Monte das Oliveiras’ was specially designed for olive oil tasting. It represents the tradition of olive growing in Portugal by depicting a symbolic landscape - the olive grove. The piece is made from fine stoneware paste, hand-glazed in a translucent white glaze, and complemented by natural pieces of olive wood, carefully harvested from the Portuguese olive grove. The box includes an illustration and a summary of the text ‘Monte das Oliveiras’ (Mount of Olives), which tells a story inspired by the olive tree, from the times when only birds fed on its fruit and enjoyed its shade, to contemporary times when the flavour of its juice is valued and appreciated.   Dimensions: H4,8cmxW12cmxL18,5cm Material: Stoneware and olive wood Colour: White Weight: 0.25Kg Maintenance: With use, olive wood may take on a whitish hue.
