Sylvie Granatelli


Sylvie Granatelli’s porcelain pieces are designed for serving food, and represent a convergence of her Sicilian and Cajun heritage, and the rituals of her Catholic upbringing. Granatelli’s love affair with food began at an early age, and she creates serveware that celebrates hospitality. She views pottery as a vehicle for hospitality, because it gives and receives simultaneously. It is both the host and the guest. Find out more about Sylvie Granatelli Porcelain, click HERE.
