Acquerello Tea Cup Saucer - Green Circles, Porcelain

The Acquerello tea cup saucer features green circles hand-painted onto a white porcelain surface, with irregular lines that reveal the artist's touch. Its delicate, organic shape is designed to sit alongside the matching tea cup from the All Time collection, completing the Acquerello tableware set. The slight imperfections in each painted circle add depth and character to an otherwise simple form. Well suited to bright, lively kitchens and dining rooms, it balances minimalist, ecological design with everyday usability.

The Acquerello porcelain tableware collection, designed by Guido Venturini for the Alessi brand, is a tribute to decorations made by hand by humans. In the designer's own words, activities such as painting with a brush are also a kind of refuge from the ubiquitous computerisation and mechanisation of activities performed until recently by humans. The green circles adorning the white porcelain surface of the crockery have been hand-painted, making them far from perfect, and this, according to the designer, is where the depth of the crockery lies. In the irregular, uneven lines and small stumbles one can see the emotion and energy accompanying the artist. Thanks to the colour, the designer's idea and the delicate, organic shapes of the crockery, Acquerello tableware is certainly recommended to fans of simple, ecological design and to owners of bright, lively kitchens and dining rooms.The tea saucer shown here matches the tea cup from the All Time collection, with which they will form the perfect complement to the Acquerello tableware.
