Alexander

Imagine glacier plates floating above the table’s surface, just as the tip of a glacier reveals only a fraction of its actual size. Alexander comes adorned with a cascade of blue celadon glaze or white gold lustre.

Supernatural and ephemeral bodies of ice

"I love that what we see of these forms reveal only a fraction of their scale. In my mind’s eye, I see glacier plates floating on a table’s surface with succulent morsels of sashimi and the guests engaging in conversation as to its function as dinnerware."
