James Brooke Handled Spiral Platter

This striking handmade ceramic platter features a distinctive spiral-carved interior in ivory glaze, surrounded by rich earthy tones of brown, black, and green with abstract brushwork. Dual sculpted handles with applied decorative clay details provide both form and function. Created by Seattle-based potter James Brooke, the piece is signed "Brooke" on the base.

Measuring approximately 18 inches in diameter and 2 inches tall, this substantial platter can serve as a functional centerpiece, display item, or wall-hung art piece with appropriate hardware.
