Sunflower plates by Sascha Mallon

$68.00

*Each spoon is a unique artwork.

Ceramic "Sunflower plates" are hand made by Sascha Mallon, featuring a vibrant, two-piece nesting design. Large Sunflower Plate: The primary dish is shaped like a bright yellow sunflower with orange-rimmed petals. Each petal features a dashed orange line down its center, which converges on a textured, dark-dotted core mimicking sunflower seeds. Small Accent Plate: The accompanying smaller dish is shaped like a white blossom with dark blue scalloped edges. The center contains a red circle framed by a grey ring and a pattern of dark blue dots. When combined, the smaller white plate rests neatly over the dark center of the larger yellow plate, creating a layered, multi-dimensional floral centerpiece.

Sascha Mallon is an Austria-born artist based in Beacon, New York, whose practice spans ceramics, drawing, installation, and textile techniques. Her work has been exhibited internationally across the United States, Europe, and Taiwan, with recent exhibitions at Austrian Cultural Forum New York (New York) and Kentler International Drawing Space (New York), where she created immersive installations combining wall painting and porcelain elements.

Rooted in fairy tales from her childhood—particularly the symbolic worlds of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen—Mallon’s work uses gentle, intimate forms to explore complex emotional and ethical states. Influenced by landscapes that hold both beauty and unease, her practice reflects care, vulnerability, and transformation. Alongside ceramics, she incorporates crochet and other craft traditions, connecting her work to slow, embodied knowledge. Her Buddhist practice further informs an ethic of interconnectedness, impermanence, and compassion, shaping works that are deeply personal yet resonant with shared human experience.
