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 Green Palm Mini Ceramic Plate wears its landscape on its surface.
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 Green Palm Mini Ceramic Plate features a hand-painted palm motif set against a deep green glazed surface — earthy, lush, and quietly striking. Petite enough for a jewellery tray, a candle rest, or a side dish; distinctive enough to hold its own in a shelf arrangement or a curated tabletop grouping. Slight variations in colour and form are not imperfections — they are evidence of the hands that made it.
Lead-free and food-safe. Small but full of presence.
