11.25" diameter

$ 1,800.00

This plate by Maria Martinez is a classic plainware piece of her early pottery.   It was made and polished by Maria but doesn’t have any design painted on the surface.  It is fired to a gunmetal coloration on the front and black on the back.  Finding plainware plates in such great condition is always difficult, as they were often used or scratched over the years.  It is signed, “Marie + Julian” on the back in the clay.  The plate is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
