Boasting a highly sought-after, oversized 9.3-inch format, this rare collection serves as an exquisite intersection of classic European ceramic artistry and striking coastal naturalism.

Design & Artistry

Each individual cabinet-quality piece is fully hand-decorated, showcasing a curated curation of coordinating botanical marine seaweed, coral, and flora variations. Executed in a sophisticated palette of soft pastel ochres, muted greens, washed indigos, and delicate corals, the botanical elements frame a traditional six-well configuration arranged around a central sauce reservoir.

The sculptural, multi-dimensional relief work of the molded shell forms creates a beautiful depth of shadow under gallery lighting, making this complete set an ideal candidate for a grand, high-impact wall installation or an elite, historic seafood service.

Dimensions

• Diameter: 9.3 inches (23.62 cm) per plate

Condition Report:
