Palace Dinner Plate by Michael Aram

The Michael Aram Palace Collection explores, through Michael's eyes, the richness of detail and ornament in palaces throughout the world. As a part-time resident of India since 1989, palace architecture has been a steady source of inspiration and this collection pays tribute to the geometry and complexity of Moghul design. The classically elegant shapes and materials in this collection reflect the arches, finials, carved panels, and ornamentation prevalent in palaces throughout the east.

• Michael Aram Fine Porcelain was designed to reflect the way we are entertaining today – incorporating ease and comfort without sacrificing grace and detail. It's about the casualization of formal and the formalization of casual. Constructed of bodies with exceptionally executed graphic details, the pieces remain sturdy enough to withstand everyday use. Each motif stands on its own but can also be combined with any or all of the texture patterns to create many variations of place settings. All the body shapes are exactly the same, so you can mix the plates any way you want and know they'll always look beautiful. The designs are also carefully managed to integrate perfectly with Michael's existing array of metal, glass, wood and stone serving and decorative objects. The result is an exquisite table every time you use them...casual when you want to be, more formal when the time is right...with motifs that go from two-dimensional expressions in the place settings to fully sculptural executions in the center of the table.
