One of the positives of lockdown is that the amazing Mason d’Ojects trade fair, normally held in Paris was online this year. I would not normally been able to view all the amazing & unique brands without attending the event but I was able to see them virtually from my kitchen table in Northumberland! A welcome distraction from homeschooling I can tell you!
In the search for table linen, I stumbled across the most beautiful enamelware, hand painted using traditional methods by artisans in Turkey. The company was founded by three ladies who wanted to recreate the colourful tables filled with food that they remembered from their childhoods. I love serving food in colourful dishes & loved the fact they were a small company using traditional methods to make & decorate their pieces… so… I popped on my super brave pants, contacted them & imported two huge boxes direct from the factory!
Luckily everything went to plan! The enamel all arrived in one piece & I am so pleased with it! The splash collection is inspired by the Mediterranean sky & turquoise seas (take me back there now!) I love the vibrant abstract patterns. I floral collection of platters & trays brings the outside in & I think these would look amazing with salads on them this summer. I also fancy popping them on the plate rack on my dresser alongside the Portuguese cabbage tablewear that I stock.
Each of the pieces is individually decorated & unique so may be slightly different to the pieces pictured online. They are all made using environmentally friendly materials & 100% recyclable. I love the fact that enamelware is sustainable, sturdy & durable… a great alternative to plastic.
Not only are the pieces practical & pretty they are resistant to heat (up to 250 degrees c), dishwasher friendly & can be used in the freezer! What is not to love!
The pieces promise to add a pop of colour to your table, dresser, picnic, BBQ, camping trip or general use in the home. Uses could include butter dish, soap dish, pen pot, mug for your outside coffee (or rose wine), trinket dish on your bedside table, plates for cold cuts, tapas or sharing plates, pizza tray, salads cake plate… the list is endless!
As you can see I am totally in love with these practical & stylish pieces & I just hope you love them as much as me!
