POISE PLATES 

A Collection of Versatile Landings

We are the hollows, the shallow, the wide,

With nowhere for dust or for secrets to hide.

From the steam of the kettle to the light of the bed,

We’re the place where the wandering objects are led.

Not just for the kitchen, nor just for the spoon,

We’re the anchors that hold you from morning to noon.

A palm made of stoneware, a gift from the fire, 

To hold every fragment that you might require.

POLISHED SHADOW 

A quiet shade of graphite grey,

To catch the fragments of your day.

I am the shadow, calm and cool,

A steady, silver-tinted pool.

Rest your silver, rest your steel,

And find the balance that I feel.

THE STORY 

The Polished Shadow is the sophisticated anchor of the series. Its slate-grey glaze possesses a subtle, metallic sheen that catches the light like polished stone after rain. At its heart lies an intricate sunburst of etched lines, radiating outward and providing a concentrated point of visual and physical stability.

This piece is a minimalist’s dream—a quiet, powerful presence that feels as at home on a high-end office desk as it does on a kitchen island. It is particularly striking when used to hold metallic objects, as the deep grey tones perfectly complement the shine of silver or steel. It is a poised, architectural landing for the items you use most, offering a moment of stillness in a monochrome palette.
