A compelling handmade studio pottery charger / display plate with a strong mid-century modern / studio craft presence. The plate is formed as an organic, softly squared shape with rounded corners, finished in a rich gloss black glaze and decorated with bold ochre slip work in a sweeping, calligraphic motif.
Placement
The contrast of deep black and warm ochre, combined with the subtly irregular hand-formed profile, makes this a standout piece for collectors of design-forward ceramics.
Dimensions & Weight
Diameter: 7 1/4 in (7.25)
Side-to-side: 7 in each side
(Handmade; slight variation is expected and desirable.)
Authenticity & Construction(collector notes)
Handmade stoneware Gloss black glaze with natural pooling/movement Ochre slip decoration (likely slip-trailed / slip-brushed) Studio kiln-fired finish Unglazed foot/base showing clay body and firing character The surface decoration appears to be slip-trailed or slip-brushed (raised-to-textured, kiln-set lines) that breaks and freckles organically through the glazean effect prized in studio ceramics for its depth and movement. Under light, the glaze presents as inky black with tonal variation and pooling, while the unglazed base reveals a stoneware body with natural firing speckle and an honest studio finish.
Condition
Excellent, polished, condition. no cracks, repairs or chips Typical handmade/studio characteristics may include minor glaze variation, kiln marks, and subtle surface texture consistent with studio firing. Please review all photos as part of the description.
Attribution & Period
The underside bears an impressed makers stamp that appears to read CT within a rectangular cartouche (see close-up photographs). Without a published mark reference or provenance, this piece is best described as studio pottery with a clear stamped mark for collector confidence. Estimated Date (best-supported listing language) Likely late 20th century (circa 1960s1990s) based on the studio-stamped mark, the organic square form, and the black-glaze-with-slip-decor aesthetic common to that periods studio ceramics. (A narrower date range would require a confirmed maker identification.)
