Prototype Stoneware Underfired Display Plates
Discover the charm of imperfection with the Prototype Bargain Parade—a unique collection of stoneware pieces that wear their story proudly. Crafted from a stoneware clay body that, in my youthful enthusiasm, I fired a bit lower than I should have, these pieces have a higher absorption rate and are not food safe. That means they’re best suited for decorative use, holding dry items, or simply gracing your shelves as one-of-a-kind art objects.
Each piece in this collection is a testament to the journey of learning and experimentation. You’ll find some of my very first explorations in hand-coloring clay with stains, resulting in vibrant, playful surfaces and hues you won’t see anywhere else. The colors are hand-mixed and kneaded into the clay, creating subtle marbling and bold swaths of color—a celebration of process and discovery.
These are not machine-made, mass-produced wares; they’re perfectly imperfect, with every irregularity and blemish telling a story of growth and creativity. If you love pottery that’s full of character and appreciate the beauty in the unexpected, these pieces are for you.
Please note: Due to their higher absorption rate, these items are not suitable for food or drink, and should not be used where water-tightness is required. They are, however, ideal for anyone who values artistry, experimentation, and the unique fingerprints of a potter’s early days.
Blame it on my relative youth—but celebrate the results: some true beauties, ready to bring a touch of handmade magic to your home.
