A vintage terracotta slipware serving plate, oval and shallow, with a rust-red clay rim and underside and a glossy cream glaze across the well. Vertical bands of rust and slate-blue slip, punctuated with small dots, run the length of the plate, crossed by fine horizontal marks that give the stripes a soft, feathered texture.

Works as a serving plate for bread, fruit, or appetizers, a catchall on a console or coffee table, or a graphic piece displayed on a shelf or wall. Stamped by the maker on the exterior. There is only one.
