Four assorted dipping dishes with stunning Mediterranean tile work decor are shown with a decorative gift box. One of the dishes is filled with oil, and a bottle of Lucero Ascolano is shown just out of frame.

Four assorted dipping dishes are shown directly from the top, two above and two below, so the viewer can see each Portuguese-inspired design clearly.

A tidy square gift box, comprised with a bottom finished with partially telescoping lid, is decorated with a compilation of all four designs that are found as artful details on dipping dishes inside. The gift box is on a blank background for clarity.

Mediterranean Inspired Tableware

Have you walked the streets of Lisbon, admiring the blue and white azulejo tilework? For a moment the sea air and nearby bridge might convince you that you're in San Francisco looking at the Golden Gate. Turn back toward the city, however, and there is no mistaking Portugal.

This assorted set of four shallow dipping dishes contain decorative elements you'd find in Lisbon or Seville along with subtle echoes of the floral motifs found in Ottoman Iznik ceramics.

Crisply executed blue and white transfers are applied to smooth white porcelain in various shades of blue. thus the product name "Azul", which is how to say blue in Portuguese and Spanish.

These handsome dishes come in a printed paper box for gift giving and safekeeping, and will look stunning on any table. I'm pleased to offer this winning collection from American product designer Rosanna Bowles.

They invite precisely the sort of slow tasting that good extra virgin olive oil deserves.
