Vine of the Cherubim

“Vine of the Cherubim” – A Handpainted Decorative Plate by Anna Tsetsos
One-of-a-Kind | Collector’s Ceramic | A Celebration of Innocence, Bloom & the Sacred Tangle of Beauty

Introducing Vine of the Cherubim, a dazzling handpainted ceramic plate by Greek artist Anna Tsetsos, created as a joyful ode to love, light, and the playful divinity of nature. A lush convergence of myth, florals, and fine ornamentation, this piece reads like a fragment from a dream—a timeless memory passed down in color and gold.

At its heart, two cherubic figures swing gently from intertwining vines, cradled in a blooming garland of coral and peach blossoms. Their forms are soft, their gestures serene, as if suspended in a moment untouched by time. The background—a deep, night-sky blue—is veined with fine golden latticework, evoking both Byzantine mosaics and the sacred geometries of old-world art.

Emerald leaves spiral through the composition like whispers, adding rhythm and grounding to the celestial float. A wide, antique-gold border frames the scene with reverence—elevating the plate from ornament to relic.

Anna describes Vine of the Cherubim as “a dance of purity and joy—of nature and spirit caught mid-bloom.” It is a piece that invites stillness, awe, and a kind of spiritual playfulness.
