Set of 4 white ceramic shell plates — sculptural tableware.
A sculptural set of four ceramic plates shaped as stylized shells, glazed in pure white with subtle tonal variations. These generously sized pieces bridge the functional and the ornamental, evoking the fluid geometry of the ocean with every curve. Their design invites a multisensory dining experience, where form, material, and memory converge.
These ceramic plates, shaped like scallop shells, reflect mid-century design’s enduring fascination with organic forms and marine iconography. Their contours echo nature’s quiet geometries, bringing to the table a sense of rhythm, tactility, and elemental grace.
The design embraces a biomorphic language: soft ridges, rounded edges, and shallow depth suggest a dialogue between land and sea, tradition and abstraction. The shell is rendered here with sculptural clarity — inviting both functional use and aesthetic contemplation.
Their aquatic references resonate with a broader cultural fascination with water as a symbol of transformation, memory, and ecological awareness — a motif that continues to ripple across contemporary design and material culture.
