4 pieces dinnerware set for 2 or 6 people, white porcelain with genuine gold luster decor, plates and bowls to celebrate with style your breakfast, lunch and refined dinner in good company! Simple and elegant porcelain dinnerware to celebrate your meals in special occasions or just everyday. 

The clean lines of porcelain speak of sensuality, transparency and unicity but also of practicality. Due to the real gold luster a gentle hand wash is suggested. Do not use with microwave.

Entirely crafted by hand in my studio in Italy.

Please note that each piece is one of a kind and the photos represent the general design rather than the exact piece that I'm going to ship. I make very small batches in my studio and pieces come out all different. Each one is unique and special.

TECHNIQUES & MATERIALS

The delicate look and lightweight feel is achieved by using very thin slabs of porcelain. Each piece is carefully slab built using porcelain in my studio in Italy, glazed in transparent inside, sanded smooth outside and fired twice to 1240°. A third firing is needed to apply the gold luster. Everything I use is food-safe.

The clay I use is a high quality Limoges porcelain and it has high translucency. Its colour after firing tends to a warm white.

WHY CHOOSING PORCELAIN

Porcelain is highly resistant and tends to last much better over the years than standard ceramic. That is because porcelain is denser, more uniform and harder than ceramics. It is fired to higher temperature, giving high strength to the finished product and making it more durable, most crack-resistant, almost impossible to stain, and with no absorption problems therefore completely food safe.

CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Clay is a natural and long-lasting material, therefore environmentally friendly. It is part of our tradition and history as many everyday objects were made of clay since ancient times. Since I care about environment, I use recycled packaging when possible and ask you to re-use it. 

With your purchase you help me support Greenpeace: 1% of the value of every sale will be destined to protect our planet.

Thanks for visiting my shop!
