The Layla plate is inspired by early Islamic motifs and lustreware pottery dating back to 11th century Kashan, Persia. Pottery from this region was distinguished by the delicate execution of its decorative patterns, which mimicked the shape of silver vessels. Hand-painted by master artisans in Iznik, Turkey, the Layla features a double-lined design in a striking blue glaze, which divides the plate into four sections of leaf and bud motifs.

Please note that all items are hand-painted, slight variations may occur.

Layla & Majnun

Inspired by the motifs of 11th century lustreware pottery from Kashan, Iran, the Layla & Majnun plates are named after the ‘Romeo and Juliet’ of Persian and Arabic literature. Nizami Ganjavi’s mystical story Khamsa tells the story of two young lovers from Bedouin Arabia. Driven by his infatuation with Layla, a girl from his tribe, Majnun pronounces his passion for her in elegiac lyrics, earning him the epithet ‘madmen’ or ‘possessed’. After his proposal to Layla is refused by their elders, Majnun pursues an ascetic life, wandering through the desert and composing verses about his love. The doomed lovers ultimately unite in death and their story became immortalized in many cultures across the Islamic world.
