New House Plates

These new pieces are the result of a dream I had about my studio work. I hand built a number of small and medium sized whiteware houses and then cut them in half, on a diagonal. I bisque fired the diagonally cut half houses, applied black stain to the incised lines and glaze fired them. Then I began designing with ceramic decals onto both the half houses and the vintage porcelain plates, many of which had vintage ceramic decals fired onto their surfaces. It was a way to merge 3D onto a 2D porcelain surface. I was very pleased with the results and the new House Plates have been very well received.
