Lhasa Hand-Painted Porcelain Serving Plate

A slender porcelain canvas shaped and painted by hand

The Lhasa Serving Plate brings the expressive quality of studio pottery to an elegant, elongated form. Made in small batches from Limoges porcelain, each plate is individually shaped and hand-painted in a woman-owned workshop in Turkey. A botanical stem travels across the pale surface in loose, confident brushwork, while a fine painted rim traces the plate’s softly irregular silhouette.

Craft & Origin

Turkish Workshop Production: Formed and decorated in a small, woman-owned workshop, the plate reflects a slower approach to tableware in which shaping and painting remain individual processes.
Hand-Painted Botanicals: The leaf motif is applied by hand rather than transferred mechanically, allowing the spacing, line weight, and movement of the design to differ subtly from one plate to another.
Small-Batch Character: Slight shifts in shape, color, and surface preserve the individuality of the work and distinguish each plate from uniform factory-made porcelain.

Material & Construction

Limoges Porcelain: Fine porcelain provides a luminous white ground for the painted decoration and a refined counterpoint to the plate’s handmade contours.
Dual Surface Finish: The interior is smoothly glazed, while the exterior retains a matte finish that emphasizes the tactile quality of the hand-shaped form.
Protected Decoration: The botanical motif is sealed beneath the glaze, helping preserve its color through serving and washing.
Food-Safe Glaze: Finished with a non-toxic glaze suitable for serving food.

Serving & Placement

Mezze and Appetizers: The narrow profile is well suited to olives, cheeses, stuffed dates, crostini, and other small bites.
Individual Presentation: Use for a composed dessert, afternoon pastry, or carefully plated first course.
Tabletop Detail: Layer alongside simple white dinnerware to introduce painterly line and an unexpected silhouette without crowding the setting.
