Nature has always held an instinctive pull for us — the same ancient draw that once anchored our ancestors to the scent of leaves, herbs, and the places that felt like home. The forms we return to are almost always those shaped quietly by the natural world, carrying a sense of ease, familiarity, and grounded comfort.

This piece begins with the curry plant itself. Its soft, silvery sprigs and naturally arching form offer a gentle, organic symmetry that translates beautifully into clay. The curry plant carries a subtle spiritual symbolism: protection, purification, remembrance, and the ability to hold onto what is precious while letting go of what no longer serves. Its distinctive scent has long been associated with comfort and emotional clarity.

Each plate is hand-shaped and pressed with real curry plant stems, capturing their fine textures and the soft resilience of the plant. The reverse is impressed with vintage lace, allowing both sides to hold beauty — a blend of natural form and handcrafted heritage.

Organically varied and intentionally made, this small ceramic plate carries the quiet energy of the curry plant: a gentle talisman for protection, clarity, and staying rooted in what matters most.
