Garden of Constellations

“Garden of Constellations” – A Handpainted Decorative Plate by Anna Tsetsos
Limited Edition | Heirloom Ceramic | A Tapestry of Florals and Stars

Step into a universe where ornament becomes orbit with Garden of Constellations, a handpainted ceramic masterpiece by Greek artist Anna Tsetsos. With its celestial symmetry and botanical detail, this plate becomes both a sacred mandala and a nocturnal garden—a place where nature meets myth in golden alignment.

At the heart of the design blooms a luminous floral sun, encircled by a radiant ring of leaves and blossoms meticulously rendered in gold and sage. Surrounding this central wreath is an exquisite constellation of dots and symbols, each echoing ancient sky maps or stardust in motion. The plate’s borders shimmer with layered labyrinthine patterns, drawing inspiration from Byzantine filigree, Islamic tilework, and sacred geometry.

The midnight-black background offers stark contrast and grounding, allowing the gilded florals and delicate vinework to flicker like constellations on a clear night. Anna speaks of this piece as “a botanical zodiac… where every petal is a star and every vine, a pathway home.”
