Rectangular Turquoise Ceramic Plate

This plate is entirely handcrafted from speckled grey stoneware and covered with a vibrant turquoise glaze resembling the combination of earth, water and the sky. The materials used, put together with a design that merges a circle and a rectangle, create a form that simultaneously conveys stability and elegant movement. While remaining minimal in design, this piece reminds us of the peace and harmony found in nature.

The main idea behind all of my pieces, and this one in particular, is bridging the gap between decorative and functional ceramics. Simple alterations in the design of everyday kitchenware, can not only enhance their aesthetic and highlight what’s being served in them, but can also keep them outside of the cabinets when empty. They could now be a minimal decorative element in the house, and by placing a candle, an air plant, some sea shells or dried leaves, they easily find a new narrative.
