Sailing Ship Dessert Plate – Gold

Description

This porcelain dessert plate is handmade by Asheville-based artist Anja Bartels. Anja’s nautical surface designs are inspired by her love of the ocean and her childhood memories of growing up in a port city on the North Sea. Each dessert plate is hand-painted with a dark underglaze which is scraped away (using a technique called sgraffito) to reveal the white color of the porcelain underneath. The ship decal is made from real gold, so these plates shouldn’t go in the microwave. 

Originally from Hamburg, Germany, Anja discovered pottery making while living in an intentional community in Virginia. Passion ignited, she returned home to study in the German Ceramics Guild. After completing a three-year apprenticeship with a master potter, she received her journeyman ceramics degree from the German Chamber of Crafts and Trades. She is now an artist-in-residence at Odyssey ClayWorks in Asheville.

Please Note: Each plate is individually handmade. Expect slight variations from the images shown.
