Raised Ivory Platter - Medium

Curator's Notes 

This raised ceramic piece is so artfully made — looking at the sizes all stacked together reminds me of minimalist sculpture. The platter is handmade with crackle glaze and flour powder, which can cause a light blush to develop when it's fired and light crackling on the surface that becomes more apparent with time and use. It's a beautiful backdrop for special dishes like sushi, as well as for elevating objects in your home for display. Also available in Small and Large sizes.
