Octagonal plate: black & white heron in vines
Octagonal plate, painted with black underglaze on porcelain, with clear satin glaze.
c. 7.75 x 6” (19 x 15 cm)
I like it as a small serving dish or a breakfast or dessert plate.
I make these dishes by rolling and cutting slabs of porcelain, then pressing them on wooden molds I cut. After they dry a bit, I trim the edges with a wood-working tool and sponge them smooth. I paint them with underglazes when they are bone-dry, then fire them, coat them in clear glaze and give them one last trip through the kiln.
They are safe for food, and fine to put in the dishwasher.
