Plates, bowls, and pasta bowls (“blates”) are elements of a tableware series that is contemporary and rustic in the same breath. The design aesthetic and form are approachable, usable for everyday life. The blue and white glaze colors are deliberately split in two so as to provide visual interest and yet not overwhelm. The plates have a straight wall and raw rim, providing contrast against the glaze colors. These are a welcome addition to the kitchen for daily meals.
