How to Create a Dessert Plate Set with Tao and Aura

Quick answer

Create a dessert plate set by pairing the Tao Forêt and Aura Outremer plates for a balanced contrast of forest green and deep blue, with hand-painted details that make each piece unique.

Steps to create your dessert plate set

1. Choose your base color: Decide whether you want the forest green (Tao Forêt) or the deep blue (Aura Outremer) as the dominant color. For a balanced look, start with two Tao Forêt and two Aura Outremer plates. Common mistake: using an equal number of each can feel too symmetrical. Try a 3:1 ratio for a more curated appearance.
2. Check the handcrafted variation: When your plates arrive, inspect each one. Because both models are handmade, the glaze and painted pattern may vary slightly. Embrace these differences—they are part of the charm. If uniformity is important to you, consider ordering a single model instead of mixing.
3. Arrange on the table: Place the plates in alternating positions around the table, or group the Tao plates on one side and the Aura plates on the other for a deliberate contrast. Use neutral table linens to let the colors stand out. Avoid busy tablecloths or patterned napkins that compete with the hand-painted details.
