Nick Joerling Plate. NC Potter. Ceramic Artist. HighFire WheelThrown. About 9 inch diameter, almost 2 inch high. Signed by artist. Green accent glaze is probably in the Oribe family. Glossy. The main glaze ls probably in the Spogamene (sp?) glaze family & a smooth matte surface. Purchased around 2000 directly from the artist studio in Penland North Carolina. High fire stoneware, with his signature glazes & decorative techniques & other surface style. Great for your ceramic collection, from modern ceramic usa based artists. A great example piece for educators. Ceramic Artists make a limited amount of work, have a unique & evolving style, making this valuable piece. A plate stand, either collapsible metal/coated or wooden ones are traditional for displaying plates. It fits nicely in the standard plate stand. This has a hairline crack that is not visual, but can be heard if a light fingernail tap/flick is done to the edge of the plate. This is a technique potters use to tell if a piece ‘rings’ ‘pings’ or has a muted sound indicating a breach in the piece. It can be used, but is best for display. It’s expertly thrown and lightweight. It can go in the microwave & dishwasher. Do not thermal shock it on the stove or in the oven. Packaged with great care! You can bundle with a soft item like clothing, but its preferable to ship solo. Here is his web address, not a link, but you can cut & paste it: https://www.joerlingstudio.com
