These Cute Ceramic Plates Deserve a Spot in Your Kitchen

A home isn't a home without a kitchen. When it comes to building one, it's always great to choose pieces that are well-designed, practical, and relevant. Here's a kitchen find that will quickly make any Filipino kitchen its home: ceramic "bugtong" plates by Mansy Abesamis!

Mansy is the artist behind the craft shop Hey Kessy-she also holds lots of workshops and enjoys teaching eager-to-learn artists the tricks of the trade. These ceramic plates are hand-painted one-by-one, each holding a unique design or Filipino riddle, before they are dipped into a vat of clear glaze. More importantly, these plates showcase Filipino talent and culture beautifully!
