Pomegranate Spiral - Multi-Compartment Serving Set

Pomegranate Spiral - Multi-Compartment Serving Set The pomegranate tree at the center tells you everything: this piece was made for gathering, for abundance shared. Along the ancient Silk Road, pomegranates traveled as symbols before they traveled as cargo—split open to reveal jeweled seeds, painted on palace walls from Persia to Samarkand as emblems of prosperity and blessings multiplying. In Uzbek households, a laden pomegranate branch above the table means the table will never be empty. Nine crescent compartments spiral outward from a central medallion where a pomegranate tree grows heavy with fruit. Each crescent holds a cream ground painted with emerald foliage and ruby fruit, while the deep cobalt borders curve with sage arabesques. The glaze shifts across surfaces—one cobalt section runs almost black where it pooled during firing, another shows the faint trace of a fingerprint at the rim's edge. The spiral arrangement means the set can be assembled clockwise or counter, depending on how the table is set. Limited to 30 sets worldwide. Each numbered and authenticated.
