About this product
Handcrafted in the village of Tunis — a picturesque settlement nestled between Lake Qaroun and the desert dunes of the Fayoum Oasis — the Red Daisy Mini Ceramic Plate is a small piece with a story rooted in one of Egypt's oldest living craft traditions.
In the 1980s, Swiss ceramic artist Evelyn Porret founded a pottery school in Tunis, introducing the village children to the craft of clay. Her graduates became the village's master potters, shaping a distinctly Tunisian aesthetic: hand-formed pieces adorned with primitive motifs drawn from the local flora and fauna. Each piece is shaped from clay sourced along the Nile banks of Aswan, then hand-glazed and painted by hand — no two are identical.
The Red Daisy Mini Ceramic Plate features a hand-painted floral design in soft green and warm red tones, cheerful and refined in equal measure. Petite enough for a jewellery tray or a side dish, expressive enough to anchor a shelf vignette or a styled tablescape. Slight variations in colour and form are not imperfections — they are the signature of the hands that made it.
Lead-free and food-safe. A vivid, lasting piece of functional art.
