Welcome to our collection of exquisite hand-painted plates and bowls – not just practical dinnerware, but true works of art. Elevate your dining experience with our unique hand-painted pieces that not only add charm to your kitchen but also become conversation starters at gatherings, thanks to their distinctive designs.
Our hand-painted plates and bowls, crafted from durable pottery or clay, boast elaborate floral, animal, and geometric patterns deeply rooted in Armenian culture. These intricate designs, inspired by the vibrant Armenian countryside, showcase nature’s splendor and draw from traditional Armenian motifs. From colorful flowers to iconic Armenian animals like storks, lions, and deer, our pieces tell a story of tradition and heritage.
Creating these masterpieces requires a blend of art and science. Initially molded from clay or ceramic, our plates and bowls are carefully fired in a kiln, then meticulously smoothed for the painting process. Artists, with skillful hands, hand-paint the designs or use stencils to create stunning visuals. Another round of firing at a lower temperature ensures the longevity of the paint, preventing chipping or fading over time.
Aside from their aesthetic appeal, our hand-painted plates and bowls are functional and durable. Dishwasher safe for easy maintenance, these pieces seamlessly transition from casual to formal settings. Oven-safe, they allow you to serve and reheat various dishes, from appetizers to desserts.
