Sunrise Oaxacan Plate Set, Terracotta

from £109.00

Each set is for a single person and includes 3 plates: one dinner plate, one dessert plate, and one side plate.

*Please note : larger sets are cheaper per item. Email us for bulk orders or special requirements.

A watercolour wash of colour, the Sunset plates display a range of colours from beige to peach and soft grey. Handmade in Oaxaca, a state rich in pre-hispanic pottery tradition, the clay has a tactile finish with a subtle shine.

The workshop takes the natural clay and cleans it by filtering it for 20 days. The clay is then smoked to create the black colour and burnished rather than glazed, by polishing the surface with a quartz crystal until it has a glossy finish with a warm glow. The pieces are then fired in underground pits or kilns, using a wood fire. The pale terracotta is oxidized during firing, leaving the pieces with varied finish on a spectrum from beige to peach.
