Description
This is for the person who likes their home to feel quietly storied, like every object has travelled a little.
The Vase Plaza Athenee Small by Tania Bulhões is part of the brand’s first porcelain collection created for the iconic Parisian hotel. Handcrafted in Limoges, it carries a romantic reference point but softens it with a distinctly modern Brazilian sensibility. The surface is clean and sculptural, lifted by a bold red floral motif that feels both archival and fresh, like something discovered rather than designed.
Style it with a single stem or leave it empty on a console or bedside. It holds presence on its own, bringing a quiet sense of Parisian elegance into everyday spaces without ever feeling formal.
Care
Gold banding and hand painting mean no microwave, ever, and no dishwasher if you want the gold to stay gold. Warm water, mild soap, dry it properly, put it back in rotation. The body itself was fired past anything your kitchen can do to it. The decoration is the delicate part, and even that survives ordinary Tuesdays.

“Inspired by nature and the world"
Tania Bulhões opened a small shop in Uberaba, in the interior of Minas Gerais, in 1989. It sold plates, paintings, whatever came in. Somewhere in there she worked out that the plates were the point. São Paulo followed in 1991.
