Executed in gleaming white porcelain and accented with four raised, hand-applied gold cross motifs, the design reflects Morris’s signature vocabulary of bold, architectural form and elemental symmetry. The result is a striking fusion of art, design, and fine craftsmanship — equally suited for display or sophisticated table settings.
