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 mottled honey gold and dark brown slips (liquid clay) with some iron green around part of the rim. Decorated in a free flowing style with 2 dark brown swirls at either side of the plate.
