Celadon blue floral ceramic decorative tray

This platter is part of the great tradition of European botanical ceramics, that of Faenza majolicas, Delft faiences and Meissen services, revisited with a light and summery contemporary sensibility. Its hand-painted floral motif combines blooming poppies with celadon blue petals with winding sage green foliage, all enhanced with natural golden traces that recall the earth pigments of historical faience makers. The inner edge, adorned with a celadon blue line, elegantly closes the composition. As each piece is hand-painted, the exact arrangement of flowers and foliage varies, guaranteeing its uniqueness.

The body is made of thick glazed ceramic, fired at high temperatures for remarkable strength and stability, weighing 2.2 kg for 35.5 cm in diameter. The floral decoration is hand-painted with celadon blue, sage green, and golden ocher pigments on an ivory white glazed background, with no decals or printing: each stroke is the result of a unique artisanal gesture. The celadon blue rim, slightly raised, is the signature of artisanal turning and glazing. Variations in color, pigment intensity, and floral arrangement are inherent to the process.

Designed for decoration, this tray requires little maintenance:

• Cleaning: wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth; do not immerse or put in the dishwasher
• Handling: the 2.2 kg weight ensures stability; handle with care to avoid impact on the enameled edge
• Delicate surfaces: place on a felt pad or tray liner for marble, glass, or lacquered wood
• Occasional outdoor use is possible, but do not leave exposed to prolonged bad weather
