This ceramic plate centers on a stylized butterfly surrounded by leaves, petals, stars, and scattered white dots. Warm orange, brown, and ivory tones stand out against the black surface, while the symmetrical composition gives the image a quiet, almost ceremonial feeling. The butterfly does not appear as a literal copy of nature, but as a form caught between insect, flower, and imaginationβsuggesting the uncertain moment when one state begins to become another.
Every EBMing piece begins with an original design, with the carving, coloring, and finishing all completed by hand. The studio does not reproduce nature exactly, but reshapes familiar plants and living forms into patterns with their own rhythm and personality. Each piece is fired at 1240Β°C, preserving the depth of the carved lines, the character of the hand-painted color, and the subtle variations that make every piece slightly different.
