Poetic forms

The shapes are fluid, flawless. The colour schemes, subtle. Take a look at the Deyali Nanji Devraj creations. Expressive and poetic, the works are perfect for tastefully done-up interiors.

At a show in the city, from September 20 to 23, at Island Grounds, the best of Parian porcelain will be showcased. The range includes beautiful figurines of fragile women with finely chiselled features, cherubic kids and religious images.

Parian originated from the word Paros - an idyllic island in Greece. Parian marble is known for its clarity, and the Nanji Brothers have painstakingly worked on the medium to create exquisite pieces of art. The production of each figurine takes about four to five months.

The range starts at Rs. 1,400 and goes up to Rs. 12,500, as "Porcelain at not-so-prohibitive prices" is the Nanji Brothers' watchword.
