Dark and Mid Blue


Dark and Mid Blue

Dramatic Mediterranean Blue. A reflection of the never ending deep blue skies and the turquoise shades of a Mediterranean sea. Scenes with rugged cliffs, hidden coves, caves and the Greek goddess Aphrodite emerging from the sea; spring to mind. This is a very popular range using the olive fruit as a motive.

The base colour in this range is medium or light blue with dark blue used to highlight the rim and base of the objects. A traditional olive fruit pattern decorates the surface.

Soothing and Bold, Olive Green and White. This shows bunches of olives with a blend of bold lines in a tranquil shade of green so that one thinks of the tinkling bells of a goat herd browsing beneath the olive trees on a mountain slope.
