Turchino Plate: The Little Prince

A creative collaboration between Italian duo Chiara Caselli and Francesco Carrasso, Continua + Mamt brings together multidisciplinary artistry spanning painting, tattoos, ceramics, and textiles. Based in Amsterdam, their work fuses Chiara’s passion for clay with Francesco’s figurative artistry to create “tattooed ceramics” – plates that merge hand-poke tattoo techniques with delicate ceramic craft.
Each piece blends dreamlike storytelling and folkloric imagery, producing mystical, emotionally charged objects that evoke memories, imagination, and human connection. These artisanal plates transform everyday meals into poetic experiences, balancing minimalism and intricate illustration, and earning recognition at Edit Napoli 2021 for emerging designers.
