Mary Singer was known for her intricately carved pottery and figurative work.  This is one of her few plates.  It is deeply carved with a water serpent (avanyu) as the design. The front and back are both fully polished.  It was fired a deep black.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.  The piece is signed, “Mary Singer”.  While she no longer makes pottery, her work can be found in museums nationwide.
