Large plates, hand painted

Our plates are painted in Senegal, using the technique of painting under glass. It is a very delicate job, which requires a lot of concentration. The words and drawings are drawn in ink on the reverse side of the transparent glass plate, in reverse image from the original. The outlines in ink are filled with successive layers of paint: the design appears right side up on the unpainted side. The plates dry in the sun.

Our painted plates are available in 2 versions:
Large plate: diameter of 25 cm
Dessert plate: diameter 19 cm
