Hammertone techniques have been a cornerstone in jewelry and metal crafting for millennia, and each mark bears a silent testament to the skill of the craftsman. The collection of fine porcelain strives to capture the random and organic feeling of this age-old process. The porcelain is also designed to integrate perfectly with any of Michael's other dinnerware patterns. The unified body shapes used in all of the motifs make mixing and matching the patterns a seamless proposition.

The Michael Aram Black Orchid collection was inspired by the powerful sensuality of orchids and the rich ambiance of haute couture "strikingly simple yet full of the most extreme detail. The Black Orchid collection has an almost gothic feeling "opiated, lush, and smoldering "like the dark, velvety atmosphere of a luxurious evening. "There is something so seductive about orchids. They are even more sublime in blackened nickel, like a woman wearing a black velvet gown floating through a great estate or a glassy urban high-rise. The dark atmosphere of the orchids against the hammered metal is like the afterglow of a beautiful evening."

These are the most beautiful dishes! I’ve received many compliments.. Barbara. Clyde Hill, WA. Wed Jan 22 2020

"I have always been mesmerized by the craft of hand forging and how a cold hard piece of metal can be transformed in shape. It is romantic and almost magical to me how quick gestures and seemingly random strikes of a hammer become frozen in time, creating a texture that is both spontaneous and ageless."

Amanda’s elegance stems from refined understatement. Dressed up or down, this pattern has poise.
