Ideal for the kitchen or for a restaurantthis marble set will elevate any meal, combining apparent simplicity with rigorous geometry.The set is handcrafted in pure Athenian white Volakas and black Leivadiamarble in a small village in the north of Greece (Drama) famous for its marble quarries and pays homage to ancient Greek civilization, especially to the Acropolis and Parthenon. Both marbles are metamorphic rocks that morph from limestone under extreme heat and pressure deep within the earth. They also contain dolomite along with the limestone which gives them different colors and tones.The traditions of marble carving and sculpture that goes back thousands of years to the famous Greek sculptors Phydias andPraxitelis are still alive today. ThisThaliamarble set is carved by hand and conveys a feelingof modernity while representing the luxuriousness of the material formed by nature and enhanced by human interpretation. It features a matte polish finish and is signed by the maker and designer. Since the designer does not like to paint the surface of the marble stone with transparent paints or resins, three coats of the highest possible level of protective sealant are applied instead. This will preserve both the piece and the natural feel of the marble.For maintenance, do not use cleaners containing abrasive cleansers, ammonia, bleach, acid, or homemade cleaners made from lemon, vinegar, and so on. Simply use water or a neutral detergent; this will be more than enough. Signed by Maker,Signed by Maker less
