About this product
These elegant dinner plates are crafted with such care and detail. The weight of each plate is unparalleled. The raised plumeodo design frames the piece with elegant simplicity. These are beautiful dinner plates, but can also be displayed on a wall (hole in the back for hanging).
The traditional ways of making pottery start with they clay that is cast into the handmade molds. Once dried, the mold is removed and the first kiln firing takes place. After the first firing, an artist paints the piece. It is then glazed and fired for a last time. These are unique, beautiful and very functional.
