Lotuses bloom with exuberant beauty in mystical green ponds. Thatsanee and Ramphan design the enchanted scene to decorate each plate in this set of five. The serving plates glow with the legendary artistry of celadon ceramics, an art form that can be traced back ten centuries. Originally named qingci, meaning "greenish porcelain," this ceramic ware got its name after Celadon, a hero in many French novels who always wore a green uniform.
