Hand-built organic plate – Terra series

This plate from the Terra series is another expression of my fascination with raw matter and the slow process of shaping it. I hand-build each piece, giving it an organic, irregular rim that moves away from the symmetry of a perfect circle, granting the stoneware a unique, sculptural quality.

The defining feature of this plate is its deeply textured surface. The visible cracks and fissures mirror the appearance of sun-baked earth or ancient rock formations. These organic details are an essential part of the design, highlighting the artisanal roots and the raw beauty of the material.

This piece works beautifully as an unconventional platter for dry items, a base for decorative arrangements, or a standalone artistic statement. Because I create every piece by hand without the use of molds, no two are identical—the fissures and textures on each plate form a one-of-a-kind, natural landscape.
