Pre-order special price. Shipping begins October 23.
Six pieces in one order, for less than buying them apart.
A Tessera platter, a 23.5 cm (9.3 in) plate and four glasses in one order, priced below buying them one by one. Set the platter in the centre, the plate beside it, pour four drinks, and the woven colour runs the length of the table before the food arrives.
Choose the square platter or the long rectangular one; both come with the 23.5 cm (9.3 in) plate and the mixed set of four glasses, two tall and two short. Every tile is painted by hand, so no two pieces are quite the same.
The basket-weave texture is moulded into the glass, not printed on it. Run a finger across any of the six pieces and you feel every raised tile. It gives them grip and a soft, uneven edge, and makes the colour shift as the light moves across the table.
Material: Glass with hand-painted colour
Heat tolerance: up to 80 °C / 176 °F for every piece

Hand wash only, with a soft cloth, warm water and a little mild soap, then let it dry. Avoid boiling water, soaking, abrasive sponges and sudden temperature changes: that is what keeps the hand-painted colour bright.
Small bubbles, specks and subtle variations in colour and glass are part of the making process. Measurements may vary by a few millimetres between pieces.
Every Tessera is a little different. That is the point.
Something to pour from: the Tessera Pitcher. For the rest of the table, the fruit bowl, the vase and the candy jar.
