Marigold Plate

Marigolds are the flower of every Indian celebration. They're strung over doorways, threaded into garlands, offered at the altar, and heaped into a thali at festival time. There is barely a wedding, a puja, or a Diwali morning in India without them.

This plate takes its shape from one. A medium, fluted form in crisp white marble, its edge rising and falling the way marigold petals ruffle and fold, layer upon layer, when the flower is in full bloom. Sculpted, cut and polished by hand, it has the same generous, layered geometry as the flower it borrows from, with a bright, clean finish that lets the fluting catch the light along every curve.

Use it the way you would a favorite dish, close at hand and often reached for. Gather the small things you touch every day: rings, keys, a stack of bracelets by the door. Or let it hold flowers, marigolds especially, floated or piled loosely, so the marble almost disappears beneath the color.

Styling Tips:
Set it on a console for catching keys and jewelry. Place it on a dining table filled with tea lights for festive evenings. Or let it stand empty on a shelf, where the fluted edge is reason enough to look twice.
