Ceramic bowl - floral motif
- 1 item left
On these bowls, wheel-thrown and hand-painted in Sifnos in the Cyclades, unfold the floral motifs cherished by Nikos and his family. Blue, green, or red flowers animate the surface of the ceramic, bringing softness and color to the tableware. Each piece is unique, as if the sea, the wind, and the light had left their trace on the glaze. Used daily—for breakfast, soup, fruit, or an improvised dessert—these bowls always give the impression of holding a piece of the Mediterranean in your hands.
Here, tradition dates back to Antiquity. Ceramics made on this small Cycladic island long traveled by boat, delivered from village to village as far as Athens. In the workshop located in the north of the island, with no precise address—you arrive by following directions from the neighbors—the men of the family have been potters for over a century. In summer, production intensifies to supply holiday tables and loyal clients; the rest of the year, Nikos takes the time to create pieces for the elegant neighborhoods of Athens and for La Maison de Commerce in Paris.
The style of this tableware is built on gentle contrasts: a fine balance between perfection and irregularity, simple drawings, confident forms, and luminous colors. Timeless, not to say eternal, each bowl tells in its own way the story of the sea, the sun, and the gentle wildness that defines the island.
