Siesta collection
Siesta is a national tradition of many southern countries, including Italy. It originated in ancient Greece, when the hottest, afternoon time of the day was devoted to relaxing in the shade of trees, because even animals hide in the shade from the midday heat. The bright, colorful collection of tableware Siesta will transport you to a warm and sunny Mediterranean afternoon, in a garden full of fruits and flowers.
Traditional majolica-style painting lifts the mood and awakens the appetite. The classic colors for this type of tableware are green–yellow and green-blue, and the ingrained themes are flora, fauna, harvest, and abundance. This is exactly what the Hermes Siesta is like: warm, pleasant and magnificent in its simplicity, it gives rest to the mind, just as an afternoon siesta gives rest to the body.
The Siesta collection from Hermes is no longer in production, so bone china from Hermes with landscapes of sunny Italy may be of value to collectors and lovers of beautiful, expensive things made of natural materials.
