Signature Collection Family Crest Salad Plate

The Thèria family crest salad plate is the focal point of the setting, designed for first impressions where detail, story, and intimacy meet. Here we tell a piece of the story showcasing the magic and wisdom of the wizard staff, the vines and orchid of the great house, encompassed in the hidden message in braille.  The family crest serves as the brand’s emblem and is deeply rooted in ancient Hermetic philosophy, specifically The Kybalion's Principle of Rhythm. This principle teaches that everything in life moves in cycles: creation and destruction, rise and fall, just like the ebb and flow of the tides. We’ve drawn from this rhythm to craft our brand’s symbol, which reflects the ongoing transformation that shapes not only the world around us but also our own lives.

The crest features five powerful elements: Fire, Spirit, Air, Water, and Earth, each playing a unique role in the journey of creation and rebirth. These elements symbolize the inner forces that shape our lives: passion, change, intellect, emotion, and stability. Together, they tell the story of life’s continuous cycle, where destruction gives way to renewal, and where every ending holds the seed of a new beginning.

At the heart of this story is a hero's journey. The White Rhino, standing as the patriarch, burns down the home he’s worked so hard to build. He is also a symbol of strength and leadership. The Peacock, the matriarch, then waters the roots of the family home, nurturing its rebirth. Along the way, Dragonflies spread the winds of change, and the Orchid, resilient and full of beauty, represents the growth that follows adversity.

We also wanted to share a few deeply personal aspects of our crest: the Penguins at its crown represent our family. Our crest symbol honors the love and unity that binds us, inspired by Justin's proposal to Lara at a penguin colony in Ushuaia, Argentina, where they dressed up in penguin onesies. The Chihuahua is our first baby Coconut, and one of the greatest loves of Lara's life, whose spirit now lives on as a green butterfly, reminding us of the power of transformation and the enduring connection between the physical and spiritual worlds. The hidden message in Braille is “Close your eyes and see” which invites you, our readers, to imagine a different world, one where creativity, empathy, and connection guide us toward a brighter future. Thèria isn’t just about art; it’s about re-writing stories, embracing the whimsical, and shining a light on our blind spots. We hope our work inspires you to reflect, transform, and grow alongside us.
