November is National Peanut Butter Lover’s Month and to celebrate the occasion, Peanut Butter & Co teamed up with Brooklyn artist and ceramicist Jessica Campbell and her studio, Messy Jessy Ceramics, to create a limited-edition line of PB&J-inspired sandwich plates.
Using a Japanese technique called Nerikomi, Campbell layered and swirled clay to create the look of creamy peanut butter and jam alongside one another. Perfect for fans of specific flavors, there are different varieties inspired by grape, strawberry, apricot and banana.
Each handmade plate is naturally unique, with small variations and imperfections that make it a one-of-a-kind keepsake or gift. For a limited time, the purchase of every plate comes with a free jar of peanut butter.
