About us

TELL HER WITH A PLATE sells traditional Italian ceramic tableware - reinterpreted for modern families.

For us, the dining table is the heart of the home.

And we like to have beautiful things around us, especially those that we use every day.

In Vietri Sul Mare, where we often go, there are countless small ceramic businesses. It's a joy to pick out the prettiest pieces from the piles of ceramics and leftover baskets in the shops there! Only everything was a bit too colourful for us. So twenty years ago we had our dishes made the way we wanted them: Nice and heavy, classic shape, pretty plain, white, with a light blue G for Germeno.

Since then we have enjoyed them every day.

Over time, a real collection has grown, all individual pieces, but still belonging together and calm enough to emphasize the actual thing: the good food.

We can set the table in a clear line and then combine it wonderfully with individual beautiful pieces that are always new, so that our table really tells stories.

In the meantime, we often give away tableware and are frequently asked by guests where we got our plates and bowls - time to open a shop for it. We start with three timeless designs and continue to develop new ones.

With Daria Scotto and Danilo Mariani we have found partners who are incredibly experienced in the production of ceramics, have outstanding craftsmanship and love detail just like us. A real stroke of luck.

The name? TELL HER WITH A PLATE We think that a carefully prepared meal is quite a declaration of love. Therefore: TELL HER! Or HIM or THEM or whoever (with a plate).

Here's to many good hours at beautifully set tables!
