The hand-made tableware made of hot-fired ceramic comes from the “ Red Flowery ” series by the Shanghai -based company Platane . What makes it special are the matte, unglazed outer surfaces and the “typical” Chinese motifs such as fish, peony and plum blossom, which are quite universal here.
Colour: red/white. Material : hot-fired ceramic, hand-made, border unglazed, body glazed, dishwasher-safe. Size : Φ 25cm, 2.5cm h. Country: Jingdezhen, China. Designer, manufacturer: Platane, Shanghai.
The story behind it: In 2006, Frenchwoman Laetitia Charachon founded the small but fine label " Platane " in the historic "French Consession" of Shanghai. The name comes from the many original French plane trees that were brought to Shanghai in the 19th century and still shade the small streets in the center of Shanghai today. If the plane trees were the inspiration for the name, the charming fusion spirit of the district is the inspiration for Platane's homeware collection: traditional Chinese craftsmanship combined with international design.
