About MeWire-cut plate made from Fremington clay, which is found close to Clive Bowen's North Devon pottery. He makes a wide selection of useful pieces for the preparation, cooking and serving of food ranging from giant store jars to everyday pots and dishes.
The plate is glazed in speckled honey gold and dark brown slips (liquid clay) with a band of iron-brown around the inner rim. Decorated with two free flowing dark brown swirls at opposite sides of the plate rim.
