About Celesta Handcrafted Plate
Celesta is a handcrafted plate collection made for dining and hospitality service. Each piece is produced in fine stoneware and has a concave shape with a black exterior. The concave form supports the presentation of food. Every plate is glazed by hand using traditional methods, so each finish is slightly different. The collection joins established craft techniques with a modern appearance. The plates are supplied in inner boxes of six. The intent is to reflect a long craft heritage in everyday tableware.
