The Anthologist Dot Series

The Dot Series is one of Anthologist’s defining signatures—a study in geometry, symbolism, and the warmth of the handmade. Formed from red clay, the material that has shaped Mediterranean craft for millennia, each piece is made in Athens by artisans who work with the same slow, deliberate methods once used to form amphoras and everyday vessels. The natural clay tone carries the depth of the earth: terracotta fields, sun-baked villages, and autumn light settling over stone.

Across these forms, the dot appears in rhythmic constellations—an ancient protective symbol, a seed, the beginning of a story. Gathered in series, the dots become a kind of visual language: continuity, balance, and the quiet connection between past and present. For Anthologist, the dot is both origin and orbit—where a story starts and how it moves through the world.

 

 

An Anchor for Autumn Gatherings

Every year, as tables shift toward deeper colors, textured linens, and seasonal produce, the Dot Series becomes an anchor for autumn gatherings. Its earthy warmth pairs effortlessly with seasonal vegetables, citrus, branches, and candlelight, making it a natural foundation for the harvest table. The collection adapts to any setting—rustic or refined, island farmhouse or city apartment—bringing a grounded elegance to whatever surrounds it.

Mix-and-match is part of its charm:

• Pair Dot plates with crisp white china or antique Majolica.
• Layer table runners with larger textile pieces, or—Andria’s favorite styling trick—throw an old bedspread across the table for instant texture and romance.
• Scatter whole vegetables, lemons, cabbages, Romanesco, pomegranates, and gourds around the ceramics for a tableau that feels abundant and lived-in.

The Dot Series is both a canvas and a conversation: an invitation to build a table that feels generous, grounded, and beautifully of the season.

 

 

A Word From Andria

“What I love about the Dot Series is its universality. It works anywhere—on a farmhouse table in Paros or in a modern dining room in the city. It has this earthy, warm simplicity that feels effortless but intentional. I mix it with everything: crisp whites, antique Majolica I’ve collected with my mother, seasonal vegetables piled in the middle of the table. When I hosted Thanksgiving, I’d scatter whole Romanesco among the platters. It all becomes part of the landscape. Heirloom pieces, linens, whatever you have—it all finds its place with Dot.”
