Dungeness Crab Hand-Painted Porcelain Serving Platter

Details

Araceli of Casa Adams found her muse along the shorelines of her husbands family home in Lake Macquarie. She works from her Sydney-based studio aptly named Coconut Crab where she crafts and paints species-specific porcelain by hand. Each piece is designed to spread the word about marine conservation, with watercolour-like glazes mirroring the varied palette of the underwater world. This serving platter spotlights a Dungeness crab (metacarcinus magister), which is found on the Pacific Coast of North America.
