Oyster Plate - Featured in Garden & Gun

As seen in the 2020 Garden and Gun gift guide and 2021 and 2022 Fieldshop supplement

This handmade oyster plate is built from inhouse handmade clay and plaster molds covered in a dozen hand-carved oyster shells. EACH MOLD IS UNIQUE. Creamy porcelain slabs are draped around the molds, then nestled into all of the shells’ nooks and crannies and set aside to dry. Once firm, the shape is further refined and then hand painted with shell, barnacle, and urchin motifs in cobalt or chrome green. Once bone dry, each piece is bisque fired, glazed in clear satin glaze, and refired. Each oyster plate takes approximately two hours of hands-on time per plate. They are entirely food and oven safe (but this will crack if placed on direct flame, such as the grill or a burner). Each oyster plate, measuring approximately 10” in diameter, is unique and varies in design and form from piece to piece because the molds are as handmade as the plates, and like actual oyster shells, vary in depth and size. Your plates, ordered in multiples, will be siblings but not identical. Please let me know if it is important to you that they match as much as possible, because my preference is that the plates not match and that is how I will send them unless instructed otherwise. All plates include a tab for hanging and are impressed with the Bridgman Pottery bee signature.
