Porcelain relics reflect Islamic culture
IF YOUR TABLE is set with porcelain dining ware from Rudolf Kampf, it might just be the most expensive dinner set you’ll ever eat in. For nearly Dh30,000, these collector plates from the Islamic Relics collection..
will have your guests thinking twice before cutting into that steak. The collection features 10 Islamic-era countries – including Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia – with images of holy monuments on each plate and cup. Manufactured in Czech Republic, these plates have been presented to the likes of former president Bill Clinton, and even Pope John Paul II.
Each set is dedicated to the particular country’s unique Islamic architecture, involving a particular cultural design element as well.
Rudolf Kampf representative Arthur Akopian said, “These porcelain sets show the fascination and appreciation Europe has with the Arab and Islamic world. This is a testament to our respect for the people of the region, as well as the beautiful architecture that continues to move us today.”
Featured at the Index Dubai 2008 exhibition, the collection has caused a stir with consumers vying to get their hands on the rare pieces. With only 500 sets of each country made, the limited edition plates might be better off serving no function at the dinner table.
