Cobalt is where blue pottery began, and it is still the colour the craft is named for. Here it forms the night - a deep, even field across which turquoise flowers open, green leaves fan out, and small orange accents flare like embers. The painter works from the centre outward, filling as they go, which is why the composition feels grown rather than arranged. Quartz paste, no clay, fired once at low heat so the glaze and body become one thing. This is the plate for a dark shelf or a deep-coloured wall, where cobalt stops being a colour and starts being depth. If you have been waiting for the piece that anchors the room, this is a strong candidate.
