A handbuilt ceramic cake stand from Catto Studio — sculptural, generous, and unmistakably made for occasions. "Fête" is a wide shallow platter set on a pedestal, with a small cluster of hand-formed ceramic flowers and leaves gathered at one edge like a bouquet arranged by the maker. The flowers glow in coral, orange, and mossy green with hints of gold luster, catching the light against the softly ridged white platter beneath.
The pedestal is wrapped in a woven texture — imprinted from actual fabric during the making — that reads as garden lattice or burlap sacking, quietly rustic against the polished finish of the top. The whole piece feels part sculpture, part serving vessel, and part something you might find in a country house that's been in the family for a hundred years.
Works equally well holding a cake, a wheel of cheese with fruit and crackers, a bowl of ripe pears, or nothing at all. A generous, festive object built to earn its place at every gathering.
WHY IT'S SPECIAL
- Entirely handbuilt: shaped by hand, not thrown on a wheel — every subtle asymmetry is intentional and part of the object.
- Sculptural ceramic flowers and leaves at the edge: hand-formed and individually glazed in coral, orange, and moss green with gold luster accents. A bouquet built into the object.
- Woven-texture pedestal: imprinted from real fabric during the making, giving the base a garden-lattice or rustic quality that contrasts beautifully with the polished top.
- Multi-use: works as a cake stand, cheese board, fruit platter, or standalone sculpture on a sideboard.
- Generous scale: substantial enough to anchor a table, elegant enough to stay out year-round.
- One of a kind: made individually by Catto Studio, with the personality and variation only a handmade piece can carry.

THE BRAND
Catto Studio is a ceramic practice making handbuilt vessels with a distinct painterly hand — each piece shaped, glazed, and painted individually, treating clay less as a surface to decorate and more as a canvas to work through. The studio's pieces move between the sculptural and the functional, often playing with contrast — bold brushstrokes on quiet forms, sculpted botanicals on serving pieces, painterly gestures on classical silhouettes. Every piece is one of a kind, made slowly and by hand.
