We have tweaked, revised, and re-tweaked the design of our platters almost incessantly over the past few years, and, after getting feedback from dozens of chefs, we landed on this oval shape. It looks the best, it works the best, and it comes in three sizes: The large can fit a whole fish or roast chicken, the medium works as a crudités or cheese platter (mix in fry bowls and ramekins for holding olives and their pits), and the small is great for family-style side dishes—or it could even double as a plate—the chef at Nashville’s Dream Hotel uses it for serving burgers and fries.
Chef and Milk Bar founder Christina Tosi is practically synonymous with cookies — if you know her name there’s a 99% chance you’ve scooped up one (or, you know, a dozen) of her legendary Compost Cookies for a party (or, again, you know, a run-of-the-mill night at home).
So, when we got to talking to Christina about a project we could work on together, the answer was clear: We needed to collaborate on a tray to beautifully serve all those cookies. That became our November 2022 Special Edition: The Christina Tosi x JPD Cookie Tray. “When you spend time in the kitchen, you put your heart and creativity on display. Jono Pandolfi could not get that more, creating incredible, glazed works of art that make you feel as excited to dig in,” says Christina. “We eat with our eyes first, right?”
9.75" W x 7” L x 1" H and weighs about 1 lb.

Dark Brown / White is our foundational clay and glaze combination, available in the largest assortment of shapes. With this pairing, we apply a slightly thinner coat of glaze than on our Toasted clay—enabling some of the darker clay beneath to be seen and giving the glaze an off-white tone.

Our Toasted / White combination has a brighter finish than our Dark Brown / White colorway. The clay also has grog—pre-fired, ground pottery that’s mixed into clay—which is a bit rougher in our Toasted clay than in our Dark Brown clay, but it smoothes out over time. (Think of it like breaking in a pair of raw denim, except you do none of the work.)
Something to be aware of: Little dark brown or black speckles may appear on the surface of the glaze where bits of iron come through.

The Small Oval Platter will ship within 5 - 10 business days.
At present, we are able to ship retail orders to the United States and Canada (please review our FAQ for additional information on Canadian import duties). We also ship internationally to restaurants and hospitality businesses that meet our order minimums. Please contact us at hospitality@jonopandolfi.com if you're interested in learning more about placing a hospitality order for delivery overseas.
When trying to decide if a glaze color or clay body is right for you, we recommend purchasing a smaller item like a Cereal Bowl in the color of choice to see it in person first. Our pottery is often made or glazed to order and very tricky to ship, so we try to provide our customers with as much guidance as we can in advance of ordering to minimize returns. That said, if you're not satisfied with what you receive, we'll issue a refund less a 15% restocking fee. (Restocking fees will be waived for orders under $50.)

Inside the Studio
Our dinnerware is hand-made at a light-filled studio in Union City, New Jersey, by a team of artisans. The studio is also where we quality check and pack up dozens of orders per day, which are then sent out to restaurants like Lilia, Jean-Georges, and Felix Trattoria and to serious home cooks all over the country.
Our Story
When Jono started the company in 2004, he had a simple mission: to design unique dinnerware options for the hospitality industry. He started small, with one wheel and one kiln, and collaborated with chefs, taking risks and learning from his mistakes. Then and now, his priority is to work directly with our clients, responding quickly and thoughtfully to their needs in ways that larger manufacturers can’t, resulting in dinnerware with a personal feel that sets our clients’ restaurants and dining rooms apart.
Our Process
Each piece that Jono has designed has its own unique production process, which can entail as many as 15 individual steps, and use methods such as slip casting, jiggering, and good old-fashioned wheel throwing. Our studio is equipped with 10 kilns and 6 wheels and we begin each day with the thrill of opening our Blaauw kiln to discover the finished pieces we loaded in the night before.
