Henri Matisse Acanthes Stoneware Serving Plate

Description

Serve up some Matisse with this design handcrafted in the USA.

Henri Matisse’s works from his 1940s cut-outs series-the subject of a groundbreaking MoMA exhibition in 2014-2015-have been reproduced on this serving platter from East Fork Pottery. Crafted from formed and fired stoneware in North Carolina, this mug features details from the work La Chevelure. The decal on the platter was produced in France.

The platter’s cut-out was selected by Alex Matisse, the great-grandson of Henri and founder of East Fork Pottery. The mug is reduction-fired in large gas kilns and made for everyday use-it’s food-safe, non-toxic and made to last. The platter can also be used as a decorative wall hanging. Differences in glaze applications on each plate may occur, making each one a unique piece. 

To prolong the life of your mug, it’s recommended that you hand wash it only, and do not put them in the microwave or oven. The Henri Matisse La Chevelure Stoneware Serving Plate measures 1.5h x 14.5″diam.
