The Whites Mix – Chalk & Bone (50% MC43 | 25% MC36 | 25% MC38)
Whites Mix - Chalk & Bone is a carefully balanced blend of three handcrafted ceramic glazes created in collaboration between De Ferranti and Alvaro Afonso Atelier. Combining the soft chalky character of MC43 with the subtle
tones of MC36 and MC38, the collection creates a surface that feels calm, atmospheric and quietly sophisticated.
Rather than a single flat white, Chalk & Bone embraces variation. The interplay of warm ivory, pale
, soft bone and muted porcelain tones produces a living surface that changes with the light and reveals the hand of the maker. The result is a ceramic composition that feels timeless, architectural and deeply tactile.
Each tile within Whites Mix - Chalk & Bone is individually crafted, glazed and fired, resulting in subtle differences in tone, texture and reflection. The carefully considered blend of 50% MC43, 25% MC36 and 25% MC38 creates a harmonious palette inspired by traditional lime plasters, weathered stone, aged ceramics and natural
pigments.
The collection is designed for projects seeking depth without distraction. The gentle movement between shades introduces richness and texture while maintaining a restrained and elegant overall appearance. Installed across larger surfaces, the mix creates a soft, nuanced field of colour that feels both contemporary and rooted in centuries of ceramic tradition.
Ideal for walls, splashbacks, bathrooms, kitchens, garden rooms, courtyards, fireplaces and architectural features, Whites Mix - Chalk & Bone works equally well in modern interiors and heritage settings. Its understated palette allows natural materials such as timber,
,
, brass and patinated metals to take centre stage while contributing its own quiet character.
Part of the Ceramics by Alvaro Afonso Atelier collection, Whites Mix - Chalk & Bone reflects a shared commitment to craftsmanship, material authenticity and the beauty of imperfection. It is not simply a white tile collection, but a study in light, texture and subtle variation.
