Pandora Dinner Plate, Cobalt Blue

£120

Materials
Fine European Earthernware
Width
26.5 cm

A set of 4 hand-painted dinner plates in cobalt and white from Caldas da Rainha — a single bold bloom at the centre, wrapped in a sweeping fern, the scalloped rim the colour of a Portuguese evening sky.
Blue and white has been the lingua franca of ceramics for seven centuries — from the kilns of Ming China through Delft, through Talavera, through the ateliers of Portugal, where it became something warmer and less formal than its origins suggested.
The bloom at the centre is confident and decorative, and the fern that wraps it moves with the ease of a brushstroke by a master artisan
JJ places this where the table needs grounding. It never fails to do it.

Inspiration
In the workshops of Caldas da Rainha, the painters have been making the same scroll since before anyone thought to write down when they started. The pattern came from the Moors — that endlessly branching arabesque of leaf that crossed the strait from North Africa in 711 and never entirely left.

The Portuguese received it, warmed it, gave it flowers, and pressed it into the clay of every piece that has left their ateliers since. On a dinner table in London or Paris today, that scroll carries something a plain white plate cannot — the evidence of twelve centuries of human hands working within a tradition larger and older than any single maker.

Sustainable Practices

Towards A Greener Future

At Casa by JJ, we believe true luxury considers its legacy, not just in heirloom pieces, but in the planet we leave behind. That’s why we are proud to triple carbon offset, going beyond neutral to give back more than we take. Every collection is a step towards a greener future, where beauty at home and responsibility to the world exist in harmony.
