Wafer-thin - but resilient

Feather-light tableware made of solid-coloured, cast porcelain, in a light and delicate colour palette and minimalist design, is created in the workshop of Helene Scharge. What seems so lightly fragile is highly functional - dishwasher safe and suitable for the microwave. The matte shimmering, velvety soft surface of the shapes, which are ground and glazed after the glow firing, is achieved through persistent polishing after the second firing - beautiful to caress.
