Hand-thrown Platter with Two Nudes deer at fence 10 1/4" tall x 12"This large plate or platter appears to be unsigned, which surprises me a bit as I think it's fabulous. I'd be inclined to use it for serving all sorts of things, such that the nudes might reveal themselves as those things gradually disappear, but it's also a great one just for display. It's also a heavy one, hand thrown of terracotta then hand painted, with some shine to the glazing. Late 20th century I would guess. 11 3 4" in diameter x 1" tall and
