New Vintage Porcelain Wall Plates

I have been collecting vintage porcelain from thrift stores for a number of years, stemming from a trip to Dresden and Meissen, Germany to visit the porcelain museum and porcelain factory there. This research trip in 2015 was pivotal in my porcelain education. I began collecting vintage porcelain objects and vessels upon my return to the studio, which included numerous plates. As I continued to review these porcelain plates, many which had ceramic decals fired onto their surfaces, I began to think perhaps it was the right time to explore reimagining these vintage surfaces with the additions of my own ceramic decal imagery. I was heartened to find out that people liked the idea. Many are centered on Montana, Western or regional themes.
