Emily Stackman Australia Studio Pottery Platypus Plate and Bowl hammered This wonderful wooden frog sculpture

This wonderful wooden frog sculpture was created by C

these sorts of baskets were only produced when plants were at  the right stage of maturation

I love the relationship between the curvaceous form of the bowl and the almost wave-like black pattern that runs horizontally across its surface

Emily Stackman Australia Studio Pottery Platypus Plate and Bowl hammered This wonderful wooden frog sculptureThis charming matching plate and bowl set were made by Emily Stackman (now Emily Laszuk), a professional potter based Miranee, Lewis Ponds, NSW, Australia, who has been creating pottery since the mid 80s. They are my very favorite examples of her work that I have seen, perhaps in part because of the fabulous nature of the platypus itself! Stoneware, hand thrown and hand painted, I think they make the perfect pieces for serving cocktail hour snacks,
