Grace Medicine Flower remains renowned for her innovative and creative pottery.  This is one of her few plates.  The front is carved with an avanyu encircling the plate. In the center is a medallion with etched hummingbirds.  The back is carved in four sections with geometric lightning designs.  While the front is fully polished, the back is slipped with mica.  The piece is signed on the back in the clay, “Grace Medicine Flower”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  Grace made very few plates during her career, which makes this an exceptional piece both in creativity and historically!
