Autumn Psalm

“Autumn Psalm” – A Handpainted Decorative Plate by Anna Tsetsos
One-of-a-Kind | Collector’s Ceramic | Homage to Seasons and Storytelling

Introducing Autumn Psalm, a richly detailed, handpainted ceramic plate by Greek artist Anna Tsetsos. This piece is a quiet ode to transition—a visual hymn to the turning of the seasons, where the earth speaks in rust, gold, and copper.

At the center lies a single large leaf, rendered in warm ochre with dark hand-drawn veins and subtle dotted accents. It feels pressed from memory—like something once tucked inside a book and forgotten, only to be rediscovered with tenderness. Around it, smaller leaves, painted birds, and blooming dots form a lyrical ring, reminiscent of traditional folk embroidery or the storytelling motifs found on ancient vessels.

The background, a deep terracotta-rose, holds warmth and age, grounding the composition in something both ancestral and intimate. Raised copper-toned dots around the rim add tactile rhythm, catching the light like dew on forest paths.

Anna describes Autumn Psalm as “a plate that remembers,” born from childhood walks through leaf-strewn courtyards and the folklore whispered from grandmother to granddaughter. Each brushstroke is a line in a lullaby, each detail a note from nature’s songbook.

Whether placed in a heritage collection or a nature-inspired interior, Autumn Psalm speaks softly, yet deeply—like the hush that follows the fall of a single leaf.
