Apollo Ceramic Tray

A six inch square ceramic tray from Octaevo, the Barcelona studio founded by Marcel Baer, printed with Apollo, the Greek god of music and poetry, and finished with a hand applied gold glaze. It holds keys and change by the door, or earrings on a nightstand, with more grace than any bowl borrowed from the kitchen.

It arrives in a hard walled gift box with gold stamping, so it wraps itself. Decorative rather than food safe, and hand wash only: the gold is real enough to mind the dishwasher.

High fired ceramic, 6 by 6 inches. Made by Octaevo in Barcelona, brought to the US by 54 Celsius.
