mother-of-pearl tableware

Handcrafted Porcelain with mother-of-pearl Glaze

series mother-of-pearl . This tableware is inspired by ancient Roman glass. Much of Roman glass has spent centuries buried in the earth, where it has weathered and developed breathtaking effects with a pearlescent shimmer. After extensive research into glazes, I have created a unique glaze that captures this mother-of-pearl effect. The colors dance between silver and soft gold, with delicate pinkish pearlescent tones and the occasional hint of blue—a subtle homage to the timeless beauty of ancient craftsmanship.

rainbow

This natural phenomenon that occurs on antique glass is called iridescence. Derived from the Greek word for rainbow, iris, it refers to the shimmering mother-of-pearl effect with its ever-changing hues. The unpredictable interplay of oxides within the glaze ensures that the result is always surprising and uniquely beautiful—a dance of color that captures the essence of light and time.

flair

The pearlescent tableware is a true eye-catcher, perfect for adding an extra touch of flair to your interior. A small basin with pearlescent glaze can instantly transform a simple bathroom into a truly special space. Even a neutral white porcelain tableware set gains an added depth and elegance with just a few pieces featuring a pearlescent finish.
