“Your Story on a Plate” – Hand-Painted Ceramic Plate
Not just a portrait — a personality.
Each custom plate transforms a face (or a paw, or a moustache) into a bold, graphic character in our signature retro style.
As shown in the examples on the site, the portraits are not figurative replicas: we transform each subject into my illustrated characters. We keep key features recognizable, but the final result is always in a unique, stylized art style.
Entirely hand-built and hand-painted in Italy, every piece is designed to capture expression, attitude and small details, simplified, stylised, but unmistakably you.
A decorative plate that tells a story before the table is even set.
How it works:
- After your purchase, we will contact you directly to begin the personalisation process.
- You send us one or more clear photos of the person (or animal).
- We create a digital sketch in our signature style and send it for your approval.
- Once approved, the illustration is hand-painted on a 28 cm ceramic plate.
- After the full ceramic process (including two firings), your plate is ready to ship.
Each piece is unique and made to order.

Custom Orders – Important Information
Please note that all custom pieces are entirely handmade and created specifically for you. For this reason, the production time is approximately 4–5 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design and the ceramic process.
Each piece goes through multiple stages, including drying and firing, which require fixed technical times that cannot be rushed.
If you have a specific deadline due to a special occasion, please feel free to let me know in advance, I will always do my best to accommodate your request whenever possible.
As every custom order is uniquely made to your specifications, returns and exchanges are not accepted.
Thank you for your understanding and for supporting handmade work .
