Shrimps & Pleats Dinnerware

from $180.00
Sets:

Stunning dinnerware handmade in Mexico, featuring handpainted shrimp motifs and delicate pleated edges.

Each piece is wheel-thrown or molded by Mexican artisans using traditional earthenware clay. After initial shaping and firing, craftsmen handpaint shrimp designs—stylized or realistic—using mineral-based pigments and underglaze techniques that ensure color depth and durability. The shrimp motifs range from single, elegant figures to repeating patterns around rims or across platter surfaces, accented with coastal blues

Pleated detailing is created by hand-forming fine, regular folds along the rim before firing. This pleating gives each plate, bowl, or serving dish a textured, tactile edge that catches light and adds visual interest without overwhelming the painted center. The combination of pleats and shrimp painting balances rustic charm with refined craftsmanship.

Care tips:

  • Handwash gently with mild detergent to extend paint longevity.

  • Avoid thermal shock: do not transfer directly from freezer to hot oven.

  • Store with felt or paper separators to protect pleated rims from chipping.

These pieces celebrate Mexican ceramic traditions while bringing a coastal, handcrafted aesthetic to the table—each plate and bowl a small, functional work of art.
