A platter for your table or Entrance way. It will hold food or other items. It can be used for serving food, or decoratively.
I made this platter by hand forming it. I rolled out a slab of clay and formed the platter shape over a wooden mold. It was formed and smoothed and allowed to dry. After drying, the piece was fired to bisque temperatures. The piece was dipped in an iron rich glaze, allowed to dry and decorated with a brush with wax resist. After the wax dried, the piece was dipped in a black glaze. Where I painted my design with wax resist, the black glaze doesn't adhere and leaves behind a painted design. The piece is allowed to dry and then fired to Stoneware temperature. The wax burns off in the the firing. I found this way of decorating a few years ago, it was one of those random glaze tests that turned out fabulously well.
