The 2026 design is here, and it's spectacular. This year, the shimmering majesty of the preeminent cephalopod, the pulpo, is featured, with each plate hand-drawn and handcrafted to be a one-of-a-kind piece of pintxo-serving art. Donostia Foods foods deserve to be served on something beautiful.
Each pintxo plate is individually handcrafted from stoneware clay by Chicago-based artist Susan Volk. The process begins with thrown slabs of clay that are cut, shaped, fired in the kiln, sanded, and hand-painted with glaze to create practical works of art.
This particular curved octopus tentacle design in greens and blues and golds is our new, 2026 design.
Each individual plate will have its own unique characteristics.
Every plate is signed by the artist on the back. Approximately 7 inches in diameter. Dishwasher and microwave safe.
