Striking handmade studio pottery plate featuring an abstract evergreen/tree form in a raised, flowing turquoise/sea-green glaze over a russet copper/burgundy ground, with darker iron halo outlining where the glazes meet.
The surface shows classic kiln-fired movementspeckling, pooling, and subtle crystalline/metallic shimmertypical of small-batch artisan work rather than factory ceramics.
Type: Decorative studio pottery plate / display plate Motif: Modernist abstract tree (evokes Canadian west-coast / mid-century design language)
Finish: Gloss glaze with visible hand-applied glaze flow and iron break at edges
Origin (best attribution): Canada (likely) the form, glaze palette, and mid-century studio style strongly align with Canadian studio pottery aesthetics; no makers mark is visible in the photos, so this is an attribution, not a guarantee.
Mid-Century, c. 1960s1970s based on glazing style, colour palette, and studio/hand-thrown characteristics.
Measurements (from your ruler photo) 10 in / 25 cm diameter (visually aligns with the ruler shown).
Overall very good condition with normal age-appropriate wear. Note: there appears to be a small kiln/foot-area glaze flaw or tiny chip visible on the back/foot area in the photosplease review close-ups. No structural cracks.
This has the hallmarks collectors look for in mid-century studio pottery: a strong modernist graphic, high-contrast glazes, intentional irregularities from firing, and a display-ready form. Pieces like this are sought after by collectors of Canadian/West Coast/MCM craft ceramics, especially when the glaze work is this visually dynamic.
STANDARD ATTRIBUTION & VALUE DISCLOSURE
This piece is described to the best of current scholarly and market knowledge. Any maker or regional attribution is based on visual analysis, materials, construction techniques, and documented stylistic comparisons. As with many vintage and antique glass objects, definitive attribution may not be possible without original labels or factory records. Pricing reflects condition, quality, decorative appeal, and current collector demand rather than a guaranteed maker identification.
