An object for the house
We wanted wood plates the tea hour could choose by form
What the piece is made of, how it takes its place, how to keep it honest, and how it reaches you. Meaning needs a body.
I
The grain in the piece.
II
How it takes its place.
III
How to keep it honest.
Wipe dry. Do not soak. Do not dishwasher. Oil if the face dries.
IV
How it reaches you.
Items may arrive in multiple parcels
Pieces already in the UAE may be collected together and leave as one parcel. International partner stock may still travel as separate parcels and arrive on different days.
The tea hour was borrowing one rectangle for every cup. We wanted a form that fits the pot, the fruit, or just the glass.
Five shallow wood plates with a raised lip and rounded corners — a square, two slim plates, and two wider rectangles — so the tea hour can pick the form the cup actually needs.
Hold.
On the tea rail beside walnut. We celebrate five plates grandma would stack after heat. Meaning is a form the cup can land on.
Pick the plate. Do not make the cup share.
