The Design

About Celesta Discus Manu Factus

Celesta est collectio discorum manu factorum ad convivia et ministeria hospitalitatis parata. Quodque opus ex fino lapide figulino conficitur formamque concavam cum exteriore nigro habet. Forma concava expositioni cibi favet. Omnis discus manu secundum artes traditas vitro obducitur, ita ut quaeque perfectio paulum differat. Collectio artes antiquas cum specie moderna coniungit. Disci in capsis interioribus senorum praebentur. Consilium est ut longa artis hereditas in vasis mensae cotidianis reflectatur.
