The Art of Porcelain: Handcrafted Plates Produced in Portugal and Illustrated by Estelle von Mentzingen

Porcelain plates have long been cherished for their beauty, durability, and elegance. At EVM Porcelain, we take this timeless tradition and elevate it through the artistry of our founder, Estelle von Mentzingen, whose hand-crafted illustrations bring each plate to life. Our porcelain plates are proudly produced in Portugal, a country renowned for its rich history of ceramic craftsmanship, and then printed with stunning hand-painted designs that reflect the beauty of nature and wildlife.

 

The Artistic Vision of Estelle von Mentzingen

Born in Switzerland and raised between Africa and Europe, Estelle von Mentzingen’s artistic journey is a reflection of her multicultural experiences. Now based in Portugal, her designs capture the vibrant spirit of Africa, featuring illustrations of iconic wildlife such as elephants, giraffes, and tigers. Each illustration is initially hand-painted by Estelle, who meticulously works to capture the essence of the natural world.

These hand-crafted illustrations are then carefully printed onto the porcelain plates using advanced techniques that preserve the fine details and colors of the original artwork. The result is a unique collection that combines the beauty of traditional hand painting with the consistency and accessibility of modern printing methods.

 

Perfect for Collecting, Dining, and Decorating

The versatility of EVM Porcelain plates makes them a perfect choice for collectors, home decorators, and those who appreciate the art of fine dining. Whether you’re looking to add a unique piece of art to your dinner table or to display stunning wildlife designs in your home, these plates are both functional and decorative.

The hand-painted illustrations printed onto the plates maintain their vibrancy and detail, making each piece a true work of art. And because they are produced in Portugal, you can trust that the craftsmanship is top-notch, ensuring each plate is as durable as it is beautiful.

 

Affordable Luxury

At EVM Porcelain, we believe that high-quality art should be accessible to everyone. By combining traditional hand-painted designs with efficient production and printing processes, we can offer our porcelain plates at an affordable price. This allows our customers to enjoy luxury without the hefty price tag typically associated with hand-painted porcelain.

 

A Unique Piece for Every Home

Because each design is hand-crafted by Estelle, no two plates are exactly alike. While the printed illustrations capture the essence of her original work, the handcrafted nature means that slight variations occur, adding to the uniqueness of each piece. Whether you’re purchasing a single plate or a full collection, you’ll be investing in something truly special and personal.
