This vintage handmade pottery dish captures the quiet beauty of artisan craftsmanship. Formed in smooth, wheel-thrown pottery with a soft satin glaze, it features a raised central cone intended for baking apples or pears or ideal for holding rings, earrings or keepsakes. The hand-painted pear-like motif adds an earthy, organic grace — a reflection of 1970s studio pottery aesthetics that valued texture, imperfection, and authenticity.
Signed on the base by the maker, the piece reveals the intimate artistry of mid-century Canadian and North American studio ceramics, where each object was both utilitarian and poetic. Perfect for dressing tables, entry consoles, or as a thoughtful handmade gift.
