Desmond plates
The Desmond plates, crafted from a newly introduced material - enameled copper - represent an extraordinary fusion of tradition and innovation. Enameled copperwork, an art du feu dating back to antiquity, demands exceptional expertise. The process begins with a fusion of glass powder and metal oxides, which, when applied to copper and fired at 850°C, creates a vitreous, textured finish. The enamel’s reactions vary by color, requiring precise mastery of oxidation effects and multiple firings to achieve depth and contrast. Inspired by the Sialk archaeological site, where some of the oldest traces of copper smelting were discovered, each 16 cm dish is a unique piece, blending pigment fusion with the raw essence of metal.
