This delightfully colorful platter was created using one of Sandy’s mother’s doilies which was impressed in a clay slab, draped over a beveled wood mold, followed by trimming and refining the rim. After the first firing, which hardened the clay permanently, Sandy hand painted underglazes into the recesses, then wiped the surface off with a sponge which revealed the doilies’ design. Lastly the dish was dipped in a clear glaze and fired to 2250*F. This plate is food-safe, dishwasher safe, microwavable and ideal for food service or as a catchall for objects. Sandy Miller
