Wings of Spring

“Wings of Spring” – A Handpainted Decorative Plate by Anna Tsetsos 
One-of-a-Kind | Collector’s Ceramic | Celebration of Renewal and Transformation

Introducing Wings of Spring, a luminous handpainted ceramic plate by Greek artist Anna Tsetsos, created as a celebration of emergence, metamorphosis, and the eternal dance between stillness and bloom.

At the center of this vibrant piece flutters a butterfly—its wings spread wide in playful symmetry, painted with warm tones of gold, coral, lemon, and cobalt. Around it, tulip-like blossoms unfurl from a richly textured earth, painted in soft burgundy and leafy green, their stems curving like whispered wishes.

The background, a soft golden bronze brushed with mossy green, evokes the feeling of early spring sun on damp soil—alive, awakening. The hand-carved details and layered textures lend the plate a tactile quality, as though it were grown as much as made.

Anna describes Wings of Spring as “a gentle ode to becoming,” inspired by watching butterflies dance through her mother’s garden after the first thaw. It is a piece that celebrates change—not as rupture, but as blooming.
