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 Blue Daisy Small Ceramic Plate is a step up from the mini in size, but no less considered in its making.
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 Blue Daisy Small Ceramic Plate features a hand-painted floral motif in soft green, deep blue, and white tones, with the daisy's characteristic precision softened by the hand that painted it. A versatile everyday plate or a striking display piece — it works in a stack, on a shelf, or as part of a mixed ceramic tablescape. Slight variations in colour and form are not imperfections — they are evidence of the hands that made it.
Lead-free and food-safe. A piece that rewards the closer look.
