A group of artisans in Dakar, Senegal, hand paint each of these stunning decorative plates using a reverse glass painting method called fixe in Senegal.

One school of modern fixe painters, including the group we met in Dakar, focuses on portraits. These Signare paintings were typically inspired by Senegalese women who married foreign dignitaries, and over time their images became iconic of wealth and power.

These stunning hand painted plates are available in two sizes.
