A one-of-a-kind sculptural dish, handbuilt with a raw, organic silhouette and finished in a bronze glaze that flows and crackles like molten metal. The deep midnight blue interior provides striking contrast against the bronzed exterior, creating a piece that feels both elemental and refined.

THE BRAND
CATTO Design Studio, based in Brooklyn, NY, was founded by Dutch artist Mariette Groen. Drawing inspiration from her Dutch roots, daily life in New York, and extended time in India, Italy, and London, Groen creates ceramics that balance beauty and function. Each piece is hand-built or wheel-thrown, using varied clays, glazes, and kiln temperatures, embracing spontaneity and surprise in the process. “You open the kiln, and there is a big surprise; I love that,” she explains. CATTO’s evolving style blends airiness, humor, and unexpected forms, resulting in pieces that are as functional as they are artistic—objects designed to be cherished daily.
