Homart and NOVICA Traditional Tabletop Products

This lovely tray is designed and crafted by Peru's Asunta Pelaez, who works in the time-honored art of reverse-painted glass. The bird and vine motifs are painted on the reverse side of a round glass pane before it is set into its wooden frame. The frame's antiqued gold finish complements the design nicely.

Images and icons from Peru's Tiahuanaco culture appear on a decorative copper vase. In the center, a stylized wildcat reveals its characteristic teeth and the tears that flow from its eyes. By Ana Maria Enciso, this stunning vase exalts Peru's ancient past.

A smoothly polished hexagonal slab of marble is ready to serve, either as an elegant presentation for cheese or hors d'oeuvres, or as a handy chopping board. The board is crafted by the Sierra Family in Mexico, who have been making magnificent home goods and decor from natural stone for decades.

A modern and elegant jar finely lacquered by Daeng Thanunchai. The concentric pattern, made of tones contrasting the black background, is an example of the artisan's modernization of lacquer works. A unique storage vessel for the den or office.
To complete this piece, raintree is firstly carved into the desired shape. A mixture of lacquer - obtained from the Gluta usitata tree - and ashes of burnt rice paddy husks is then applied to the object. Upon exposure to air the mixture dries to form a watertight seal that is polished before another coat is applied. This process is repeated up to twenty times, and a final polishing is executed with sandpaper. Then several coats of pure lacquer are painted on the object, with drying periods in between each coat.
The work is partially polished with sandpaper according to a predetermined pattern - generally concentric - and a few coats of different lacquer colors are applied to the surface and the object is left to dry for a few days. The process remains identical for each ensuing color, alternating lacquering and polishing sessions until the design is achieved. The final coat is washed with water and polished with powdered fired clay, offering an irresistible sheen.

Jade green petals blossom in a beautiful bouquet as Thatsanee and Ramphan create a petite cup and saucer. Working in ancient Thai celadon techniques, they handcraft a demitasse set, bathed in a subtly crackled glaze.
