ALDO
John Burningham's beloved ALDO tells of a girl and her special friend ALDO, whom only she can see. POTPURRI has translated the story's gentle atmosphere and memories into tableware that brings its warmth into daily life.
The designs draw on the girl's distinctive yellow clothes and ALDO's checked scarf. Rather than portraying the characters directly, we chose these two elements of the story and turned them into simple, Scandinavian-inspired patterns.
On the underside of the tableware, a memorable scene shows the narrator and ALDO leaning close together. The front and back tell different parts of the story, recalling the picture book each time you use the piece.
The motifs use inglaze transfers fired at 1,200°C. They settle softly into the matte glaze, creating a depth reminiscent of hand decoration. The checked pattern was refined through repeated colour adjustments to preserve the feeling of the original book.
The glass has a design created especially for this collection. A single ALDO is hidden among the wreath motifs, suggesting that he has dropped by for a visit.
As though ALDO were quietly appearing in everyday life.
A collection that holds a little story within each piece.
