Blue Palisade

Now Discontinued. An ode to British Victorian design, Blue Palisade is a motif designed by Christopher Dresser, an eminent designer and professor of botany in the mid to late 1800s.

It forms part of Burleigh's Collection One alongside Hibiscus and Pollen.

Dresser's great innovation was in representing the beauty and symmetry of microscopic plant cell structures in his designs. The Palisade pattern was acquired by Burleigh in times past as a copper plate engraving and has remained in our archive ever since. When it was rediscovered, the fine details were adapted into a new border pattern for tableware and drinking vessels.

The Palisade design is what is known as an engineered fit, meaning that the designs are created to fit specific Burleigh shapes.
