This beautiful platter is a creation by studio art pottery artisan, Dan Weaver, of Maine Kiln Works located in Gouldsboro, Maine. Maine Kiln Works was founded in 1971 by Dan and Mary Lou Weaver and specializes in hand formed porcelain and stoneware. Measuring approximately 11 inches in diameter, this impressive platter features earth browns colors speckles. The inside bottom and side are glazed. The lip, the back, and the bottom are unglazed speckled terracotta color. The company stamp is impressed on the base. This handsome platter is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, crazing, or discolorations. There are a few areas that appear to be flaws, but I believe these to be the natural effects the artist wanted to create in the production process.
