Studio pottery platter, wheel-thrown in stoneware and finished in a soft celadon-style blue-grey glaze with natural reduction variation. The surface shows subtle tonal pooling and quiet movement characteristic of late 20th-century North American studio ceramics.
The underside features an unglazed foot ring with a hand-drawn iron circle and a faint impressed makers stamp, now largely illegible due to age and useconfirming studio production rather than factory manufacture.
Based on clay body, glaze chemistry, and construction, this piece dates to the late 1970searly 1980s, a period when functional studio pottery emphasized restraint, everyday use, and material honesty.
A one-of-a-kind platter suitable for serving, display, or inclusion in a serious studio pottery collection.
