Spain's Ikat Awakening
When the Silk Road's cross-continental trade route brought ikat textiles to the pivotal trading post of Majorca, local artisans began experimenting with their own resist-dyed patterns. Golden gerbera daisies, lavender widow flowers, and purple lilacs from the island's Serra de Tramuntana mountains and coastline-like those in this wild bouquet- fed a new ikat parlance. The ceramic vase reimagines a woven basket used for collecting flowers, perhaps to carry back to the mill for fresh inspiration.
Dutch Delftware's Second Bloom
The Netherlands's tin-glazed delftware first appeared in the 1600s, emblazoning storybook snapshots of Dutch life onto earthenware tiles, from sailboats and windmills to pastoral landscapes. This formal, Flemish-influenced arrangement mixes a frequent star of these pictorials (daffodils) with Delft blue asters and coral gladiolus in a marbled ceramic urn for a still life worthy of the historic tile canvases.
