A vintage studio pottery dish by Christian Ridge Pottery Studio in Paris, Maine, finished in a speckled grey-blue glaze with an exposed terracotta base.
Originally designed as a “Bakato” baked potato dish, the oval form includes two raised interior supports made to cradle potatoes while baking. Its compact size and sculptural shape also make it highly usable today as a ring dish, trinket tray, spoon rest, jewelry holder, or small ceramic catchall.
The speckled glaze and handmade construction give it the earthy character of American studio pottery, while the unusual form adds visual interest on a bedside table, kitchen counter, vanity, or entryway surface.
Details:
Era: Late 20th Century
Material: Glazed stoneware with terracotta base
Condition: Excellent vintage condition; glaze variation consistent with handmade production
