Hand-Painted Giraffa Contrade Bowl – 10" Salad or Pasta Bowl from Siena, Italy

Bring the spirit of Siena to your table with this hand-painted Giraffa Contrade Bowl, perfect for serving fresh salads or generous bowls of pasta. Measuring 10 inches in diameter, this artisan ceramic bowl is part of the exclusive Contrade Dinnerware Collection, inspired by the historic districts of Siena.

The Giraffa (Giraffe) Contrada is one of the seventeen medieval neighborhoods of Siena, each represented by a unique animal or symbol. These districts—called Contrade—originated during the Renaissance to organize local militias, tradespeople, and guilds. Today, they are passionately celebrated during the world-famous Palio di Siena, a thrilling horse race held twice a year in Siena's Piazza del Campo since 1656.

Each bowl is handcrafted and hand-painted in Italy, showcasing rich historical symbolism and old-world craftsmanship. Whether you're starting your collection or adding to an existing place setting, this Giraffa bowl is both a functional piece and a cultural treasure.

ARTISAN STORY

In 1986, Walter Staccioli began producing Italian ceramic pieces incorporating the Contrade patterns of Siena. Today, based upon each Contrada’s individual flag that festoons rider and horse in events surrounding the Palio di Siena, Sonia Staccioli and her sister Jada carry on the traditions. These works of art can only be found exclusively at Biordi and the Staccioli workshop at the Piazza del Campo in Siena.
