On a stroll down the Champs Elise, one beautiful spring time afternoon our heroine was on the prowl for the most perfect cupcake in all Paris. Store front, after store front, her eyes darted in and out of every patisserie she passed. And then…there it was! A splendid twirl of white butter cream atop a fluffy genoise cake. Sitting solo on a perfect ceramic pedestal, under a petite glass dome, the cake called to her. But wait! She was distracted by the colorful glaze of the ceramic, the gentle crackle and antique patina of the piece. The beaded edge of the small accompanying cachepot next to it. The classic simple shapes, brought to life with natural color variation of the hand applied glaze. Each piece exuded practical elegance. And thus, the story ends but it is how our Parisian Ceramic Collection came to be. |
