"Hmm." Luster Snack Plate

My decorated handmade pottery is equally at home on the wall or on the table. Featuring highly-detailed illustrations and comics of my own design, a single plate functions as a narrative prompt that one can ponder while also using it to eat their mid-day meal. Original drawings are transferred to handbuilt pottery using a unique ceramic-screenprint process which embeds the imagery in the clay, fully sealed beneath food-safe glaze.

All plates are designed with a built-in mount for hanging on the wall. To install, simply drill a standard flathead screw 90° into the wall. Then, hand tighten or loosen with a screwdriver until the piece sits snugly against the wall. Enjoy the versatility of this artwork as you pluck it from the wall to eat off of! 

All of my handmade pottery is fully intended to be used often and enthusiastically. For this reason, I tend to make my pieces on the "sturdy" side, so you don't have to worry about them breaking if you breathe on them too hard.

All pots are microwave, dishwasher, and food safe (Note: pieces with gold luster are not microwave-safe.)

Over time, pieces may develop cutlery markings from use. These can be removed with a dishcloth, some warm water, a sprinkling of Bon Ami, and a little elbowgrease. 

On some of my pieces, I utilize gold or silver luster to intentionally censor part of the drawing. Through abrasion, whether it is a few minutes of hard scrubbing or months of consistent use, the luster fades and eventually the entire image is revealed. But if one would like to preserve the beauty of the luster, they must content themselves with never knowing what is hidden beneath.
