2 Fishes Plate- Haand Painted
Regular price $150.001 Of A Kind, Hand Painted Plate
I grew up on an island in Florida sandwiched between the Intracoastal Waterway to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. My friends and I spent a lot of time using nets to catch fish in golf course lagoons, the ocean, creeks, marshes- exposing ourselves to water moccasins and alligators. It was worth it, though, to see a net full of wriggly, glistening fish. Often, they were “trash fish”: catfish, turtles, gar, released aquarium fish and lots of sticks and slime. Signed.
I have always loved old blue and white ceramics- Delftware and Kraak Ware (quickly/ sloppily done illustrations on export porcelain of European scenes by 16th century Chinese artisans), really speak to me. My enthusiasm for painting and drawing far outweighs any training or draftsmanship, however, a compulsion and sense of humor have led me to paint on our pieces over the years. I think of them as somewhere between a high school stoner’s notebook doodles and New Yorker cartoons. I hope you like them and they make you happy in some way, I certainly enjoyed making these. - Mark

Is your dinnerware dishwasher & microwave safe?
Yes, our plates are designed for the rigors of restaurant kitchens and will be safe in your dishwasher & microwave. For cleaning we recommend using detergents that are gentle and environmentally friendly such as Seventh Generation.
How do I clean cutlery marks off the plates?
Is your dinnerware oven safe?
Yes, our plates are also safe in your oven up to 400°F but they are not bakeware or intended for routine use in the oven. Always be careful to prevent subjecting them to thermal shock (going from extreme cold to extreme hot or visa versa). Thermal shock can break or damage porcelain pottery.
