Description

Welcome to CeramaZart’s exclusive collection, where every piece has its own story. Our handmade ceramic art combines rich Armenian cultural heritage with modern aesthetics.

This rectangular serving platter (36×11.5 cm) is crafted from high-quality Spanish white clay by skilled artisans. Each piece undergoes a multi-stage process: hand-forming, drying, first firing, illustration, coloring, glazing, and final firing. The result is both a practical serving piece and a celebration of Armenian cultural heritage.

The platter features traditional Armenian Taraz designs, showcasing the distinct regional dress styles from different historic provinces of Armenia. Each costume depicted tells its own story through intricate details – from the elaborate headdresses and jewelry to the richly embroidered fabrics and ornamental patterns. These garments weren’t just clothing; they represented social status, regional identity, and artistic expression.

The generous size and elegant shape of this platter make it perfect for serving a variety of dishes, from traditional Armenian cuisine to modern culinary creations. Its substantial raised edges ensure safe food handling, while the beautiful illustrations transform every meal into a cultural experience. When not in use, the platter serves as a striking decorative piece, celebrating the rich heritage of Armenian traditional dress.
