Reverse Anatomical Heart Oval Porcelain Serving Platter
This large oval serving platter is adorned with a reversed anatomical human heart hand etched into the surface of the piece. The piece if further adorned with lovely vintage style floral decals on both the front and back of the platter; the phrase "Sometimes being backwards feels so right" is hand stamped into the back as well. This special piece was commissioned by a customer as a gift for his mother who happened to have been born with her heart reversed in her chest…a mirror image of what most of us have. I felt incredibly honored to be invited into such an intimate gift of love between a son and his mother.

Great service

My handmade porcelain work is rooted in both a need to make beautiful things with my hands and a deep connection to the clay itself. From the time I smell the damp clay in the bag and begin forming it with my hands to the magical moment when I open the lid of the kiln after the final glaze firing, I continue to be amazed by the incredible strength and wonderful delicacy of porcelain.
My work is created through hand building and the forms are decorated using incising techniques called mishima and sgraffito. These processes produce illustrations that resemble a printmaker's etchings or woodblock prints. I further develop the imagery on many pieces using repurposed vintage decals; often firing a pot multiple times until I am satisfied with the piece. The end result is a unique and layered story contained within each perfect piece of completely handmade pottery that is at once current and timeless, and that I believe will bring joy and meaning to your daily life for years to come.
