CLOSED THIS SATURDAY 9/27/2025!
This striking square ceramic tray features a sculptural concentric square pattern with a rich, high-gloss mottled glaze in brown, tan, and black tones. The design mimics a hammered or ridged surface, but is in fact carved and fired clay with a dimensional texture and smooth finish. The layered glaze gives the piece a natural tortoiseshell-like appearance, perfect as a statement accent on a coffee table, entryway console, or shelf.
The tray is made of glazed pottery and includes a recessed base with a stabilizing ring, likely for secure placement or wall mounting. It reflects mid-century and modernist sensibilities with its bold geometric form and earthy palette. Unsigned.
