The story
The hibiscus hedge outside a childhood home, a red bloom picked and tucked behind an ear or pressed between the pages of a schoolbook. The bunga raya has always been part of growing up in Malaysia.
On this serving plate it opens in full, vivid bloom among sweeps of foliage. Beside it, in gold detailing, run three songket motifs: the pucuk rebung, a symbol of life, and two whose meanings are our own: the bunga tampuk manggis, the beauty found in everyday things, and the tabur bintang, an open night sky, light shared generously.
Our national flower and the weaver’s craft, side by side at the table. Boxed and ready to give, it carries a little of Malaysia to any home, near or far.
The piece
- One rectangular serving plate, bunga raya design, 31 cm long and 15 cm wide
- Fine porcelain with gold detailing
- Arrives in a Casa Aseana gift box with a bamboo handle, ready to give.
Living with it
Before a single dish is placed, the plate is a centrepiece on its own, its blooms and gold motifs setting the table. Then come the kuih, the canapés and the dish everyone reaches for first. It is made for those who love flowers and the motifs of Malaysian songket together in one piece. Away from the table, it makes a jewellery tray on a dressing table or a decorative piece for your living room. It sits beautifully beside its companion in gold, the Serving Plate, Songket.
Every piece is packed and padded securely in its own fitted place inside the gift box, so it arrives just as it left us. Each box also holds a small sachet of silica gel. It absorbs moisture inside the closed box, keeping the porcelain, the gold detailing and the box itself dry and fresh while it travels and while it is stored, which matters in our humid climate. The sachet is not edible: once the gift is unpacked, please remove it and throw it away, out of reach of children and pets.
Hand wash only, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. The gold detailing is fired onto the finished glaze, so keep it out of the dishwasher, microwave and oven, and avoid abrasive scourers and bleach. Store with care so the pieces do not knock together. See our Care Guide.
