One of the earliest fruits cultivated by humans – and, botanically speaking, actually an inverted flower – the fig has been prized for thousands of years. Rich in symbolism, it appears throughout Greek and Roman mythology and is considered sacred in Buddhism, making it a fitting subject for this richly coloured collection.
Made by artisans in a small, family-run factory in Italy, the fig design is carefully applied to earthenware using a combination of spongeing and reactive glazes. The colours are built up in layers, giving each piece wonderful texture and depth. The collection includes supper bowls, side and dinner plates, platters, serving bowls, a tray and jug – perfect for everyday dining, relaxed entertaining or as a thoughtful gift. Due to the artisanal nature of the process, each piece is unique and may differ slightly.
