Ramallah Rose (oval platter)

Ramallah Rose is inspired by traditional embroidery from the Ramallah region in Palestine. Ram Allah translates from Arabic to mean “hill of God,” which is appropriate for this mountainous village known for its stone homes, olive trees, and summer breezes. Dresses from Ramallah were often made of natural light-colored linen or linen that was almost black. The dark colour was achieved by a process of dipping the fabric into indigo dye nine times. The patterns were geometric, but around 1879, floral and other new designs started to appear, similar to the one we see on these plates.
