THE ITEM
This elegant pair of hand-illustrated and painted works are from Amsterdam by Dutch artist T Wagner.
Crafted from red clay, the shape of these plates are smoothly spun and very mildly concave. Both dishes are overlaid with a thickly applied, smooth Stone hued glaze which operates as a canvas. Delicately illustrated on one plate with a deep navy-black is a spirited, galloping horse which has been painted in a palette of Turquoise teal and Lemon Sherbet yellow. Illustrated on the other plate in a similarly delicate manner with a deep Sepia, is the horse and carriage scene which has been painted in a matching colour palette of deep navy-black, Turquoise teal and Lemon Sherbet yellow. Both plates are finished with a clear, gloss glaze.
These finely composed pieces resemble watercolour paintings, works of art captured in ceramic and bring with them charming, idyllic vibes.
