Botanical stories 

"Ceramic florist" is the appropriate term for Nausika Raes. Ferns, flowers, mushrooms and many other treasures from the garden and forest gather in her studio. They serve Raes as models for her "botanical stories", which she displays in unglazed porcelain under small glass domes. So every detail of floral abundance can be marvelled at! And they are also available as jewellery: in addition to the glass domes, Raes offers filigree earrings and pendants for necklaces.
