ABOUT PRODUCTID 14836
This handmade ceramic plate from the Czech Republic, crafted in the late 1990s, exemplifies unique studio artistry. Fashioned from chamotte clay and glazed with food-safe finishes, its design juxtaposes earthy, matte brown with bold, glossy white fields. The surface features radiating, incised lines that introduce an abstract, geometric pattern, while three prominent, irregularly triangular sections of white glaze add visual depth with their crackled, crystalline texture. Subtle blue-lavender accents trace the rim, creating a delicate framing detail. The plate’s irregular, hand-formed silhouette underscores its artisanal character. The reverse is signed, authenticating it as a one-of-a-kind piece. There are no visible chips, cracks, or wear, and the plate remains in excellent condition. Within this vessel resonates the free spirit of Central European studio pottery from the 1990s: the plate speaks to a period defined by creative independence and tactile experimentation, when artists embraced both abstraction and functionality. The interplay of earthy brown and stark white, coupled with dynamic surface carving, evokes the intimate workshops of the post-communist era, where tradition merged with modernist inspiration. The unique shape hints at individual craftsmanship and the era’s search for a new visual language in everyday objects. This plate is suitable both for practical use—as a dish for fruit, pastries, or dry floral arrangements—and as a display piece. It would pair well with other late 20th-century studio ceramics in neutral tones or with raw glass, accentuating its artistic provenance. The plate could confidently take its place in a contemporary dining setting, providing a focal point among minimalist forms, or complement an eclectic living room—especially on an oak surface or alongside natural linen textiles.
