This range picked up a Special Judges Award at the prestigious MINO Ceramics Triennial in Japan in 2011. The festival receives up to 4,000 entries from over 50 countries. In 2012 the same range was shortlisted for a prize at the UNICUM Ceramics Triennial in Slovenia.
The stationary is made from Parian porcelain - the name Parian is derived from Paros, the Aegian Island famous for its beautiful white marble widely used for sculpture by the classical Greeks.
The intricate design demands handcrafting and each piece is made, from start to finish, by Helena. THe pads are painstakingly sanded between firings, when the piece is particularly fragile. The final firing reaches 1240°C, which mades the clay vitreous and robust. It is then polished with a diamond pad to give it a beautiful smooth finish.
