Radiance, balance, and expression — UMBALA brings together three colored ceramic plates in a composition designed like a painting.
Each box set includes a small dessert plate, a large plate and a presentation plate, forming a trio of shapes and shades carefully orchestrated by Clementina van der Walt, a leading figure in contemporary South African ceramics.
Inspired by Suprematism, Clementina approaches tableware as a visual and sensory ritual.
Her pieces, all hand-shaped and hand-painted, bear the marks of the hand and the moment: irregularities, textures, and nuances that are celebrated as a human signature.
Why this trio?
– This is not an assortment, it is a thoughtful composition
– You are not buying a plate: you are offering a table scene
– Each box set is a variation of balance, a statement of style
15 palettes available, each one unique.
Handmade in her workshop in Cape Town
