Crab Hand-Painted Porcelain Dinner Plates (Set of 2)

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. These only-at-ABASK plates spotlight a European brown crab (cancer pagurus), which is found in the North Sea, North Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, and a Chesapeake blue crab (callinectes sapidus) thats primarily found on the Atlantic Coast of North and South America, as well as the Mediterranean and Baltic Seas (where its considered an invader).
