Edition of a stoneware dish from the kitchens of the Palace of Mari in present-day Syria. ‘The Palace of Mari is the most astonishing example of oriental civil architecture from the beginning of the 2nd millennium’. This dish was used as a mould for pastries. We experimented with it for everyday use in a domestic oven.  Its purity of line and technical sophistication make it a remarkable cooking utensil and a resolutely decorative object with multiple uses.
