The Botanical series features fruiting branches and stems, mostly in the citrus family. Having referenced vintage botanical water colors for these, I decided to include the floral phase as well, although in nature this usually does not happen.
Tray is made by draping a slab of porcelain over a mold and compressing and cutting it to shape. It is hand carved, such that no two are the same. This piece is glazed with a single color, and where the glaze pools in the carving, the design is brought forth. The rim is glazed in a true 'antique' gold.
The inside is carved with a apple motif.
The oval 15 inch platter is the right size to serve crudities, and would look great with cookies or cut fruit at a party.
