Rouye Platter

The 'Rouye' is a Haitian-Creole word meaning 'rust', in reference to the platter's brushed glaze that resemble decaying metal. 

As part of Tè's third collection, Revolution is about overthrowing outdated and oppressive ideals while re-establishing personal identity and the freedom of being. Characterized by monochromatic, earth-toned colours, and deep carvings with a touch of elegance, Tè wishes to convey the struggle of separating oneself from an unwanted past through French and Haitian influences. 

ABOUT TÈ

Tè is taken from Haitian-Creole origins meaning ‘soil’. An alter ego to Margaret Yap’s chaotic and fluorescent prism, it is filled with ruminations of ancient ruins and hazy remnants of a colonial reign, as she uncovers a hidden sanctuary underneath it all. Exploring stoneware in a raw and rustic manner coupled with fleeting romantic ideologies, Tè evokes feelings of periodic nostalgia.   

This piece is food-grade, microwave and dishwasher safe, but please keep it away from direct fire.
