Retrograde Venus Plate

In astrology, Venus in retrograde is a time to re-evaluate our relationship with beauty, love, and art. The Retrograde Venus Plate is a physical embodiment of this potent cosmic event—a celebration of unconventional harmony and the profound beauty found in imperfection and reflection. It is designed not just to serve food, but to serve as a centrepiece for contemplation and connection.

The plate's magic comes from a masterful, multi-step glazing process. A base of soft, satin-matte mauve—the colour of gentle romance—is overlaid with a lustrous, metallic glaze that cracks, flows, and pools in the intense heat of the kiln. This creates a unique and unrepeatable web of bronze and verdigris tones, as if a classic aesthetic has been beautifully fractured and reformed. Its large, circular form makes it a commanding presence on any table, perfect for presenting an artful arrangement of cheeses, decadent desserts, or cherished appetizers. When not in use, it is a stunning piece of art to be displayed on a stand or a wall.

Key Features:

• Volatile Reactive Glaze: An unpredictable and stunning glaze effect ensures that no two plates are ever the same. Each is a unique, one-of-a-kind artwork.

• A Study in Contrasts: The design embraces the duality of a soft, romantic base with a sharp, metallic overlay; a smooth feel with a visually 'broken' pattern.

• Generous Serving Platter: Its large, 33cm (13") diameter makes it a commanding presence, ideal for making a statement when entertaining guests.

• A Piece of Celestial Art: Designed with as much emphasis on its decorative beauty as its function, it is a source of cosmic inspiration for your home.

• Artisanal Craftsmanship: Expertly crafted from high-quality stoneware, this is a substantial and significant piece for the discerning collector.
