Botanical Fern Lacquer Plate — Natural Lacquer, 18K Gold Leaf Rim & Japanese Crystal Resin

A Forest, Captured Forever

Slender ferns rise from a deep, obsidian-black lacquer ground — their delicate fronds frozen mid-sway, as if caught in a quiet forest breeze. Sealed beneath a flawless layer of Japanese crystal resin, this plate holds a living moment of nature in permanent, luminous stillness.

Encircled by a hand-applied 18K gold leaf rim, it is as much a work of art as it is a functional object — equally at home on a dining table or displayed as a centrepiece on a shelf.
