Palette Plates

Set of four studio pottery plates, part of a larger group of ceramics from a Claremont estate, these have no date but the other pieces were mid to late 1960's. Color & crackle glaze over grey body stoneware (imprinted seal on base), thrown and trimmed well-they have a satisfying weight to them. From PCC yesterday.
