The Dressed tableware series is part of an extremely wide-ranging collection designed by Marcel Wanders for the Alessi brand. The Dutch-born designer has made the Dressed collection one of his trademarks. A characteristic feature of the products in this line is the use of ornaments in an unconventional way, by applying them in unusual places, sometimes completely out of sight of the users. This unusual approach makes interacting with the Dutchman's objects an experience that relates to both the sense of sight and touch. Marcel Wanders' designs are elegant and light, yet full of richness, floral motifs and baroque splendour. The Dressed collection includes porcelain crockery, trays, glasses and pots.
The butter dish shown here is part of the Dressed collection dedicated to everyday, yet exquisite breakfasts. The collection's characteristic Baroque motifs decorate the porcelain saucer with a butter bowl, closed by a stainless steel lid equipped with an elegant, handy handle. This handle corresponds with the rest of the Dressed breakfast collection - jam container, sugar bowl, tea spoons, etc.
