Lacquered Wood Scalloped Tray (13.5in/35cm)

Lacquered Wood Scalloped Tray (13.5in/35cm)The founders of Scarlett and Sallis India Holmes and Suzie Dowty share an appreciation for eclectic objects. Their scalloped trays are handmade in Vietnam using the Son Mai technique; the wooden base is cut, moulded and covered in natural lacquer before a thin layer of clay is added. Then, layers of lacquer and colouring are applied which are sanded down approximately 20 times to reach the seamless, high gloss finish.

it is still being produced at the original workshop in Vienna

or as Scarpa described them

Complete with a sharp blade for inimitable precision

embroidering each linen square by hand with meticulous detail and finishing with a fun zigzag edge

When hand-building each beautiful vase in her East Anglian studio

curling upwards as if it were reaching towards the sunlight

while the glass jar is mouth-blown and finished with a base of hand-carved bamboo inlays

Its elegant frame makes each piece a joy to layer

from the spherical stopper to the specially designed rim

Spontaneous speckles and starbursts give the Todra charger plate a depth and tactility only found in a true artisanal piece

There's an exquisite story of craftsmanship behind this Japanese cigar box

His eye for clean simplicity can be seen in these egg cups
