Fabulous Shallow Display Bowl/Platter, Hand-Potted by the Popular and Collectable Irish Potter Suzanne May, Circa 1990's.

I am continuing my effort to downsize, in advance of all our possessions having to go back into storage again in the next few months (the builders keep changing the dates!)

I’ve quite a few eclectic pieces which will be going as they are not really part of my main collections but were just items that I was attracted to. They still bring me joy but something needs to go!!!

For Sale here is a Fabulous Shallow Display Bowl/Platter, Hand-Potted by the Popular and Collectable Irish Potter Suzanne May, Circa 1990’s.

She is a graduate of NCAD where she studied 3-D design with a specialization in Ceramics. She set up Suzanne May Ceramics in 1991, which operated for 11 years. Since then, she has been involved in various design consulting and mentoring roles. Her work is very popular and collectable, and because she only operated for just over 10 years, there is a limited supply of her beautiful pieces.

This beautiful display platter or shallow display bowl is glazed in a shades of white and blue in a lovely eggshell-finish glaze and decorated in a semi-abstract floral motifs in blue with yellow/orange highlights.

Because this piece is hand-potted, there are subtle differences in the shape of the piece, it is not exactly round, and the pattern is also unique to each piece, making it extra special.

It is in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks crazing or pattern loss, as good as the day it was first hand-potted! It has the impressed Suzanne May marks on the base.

The display platter measures just under 10 inches/25cm in diameter and stands just over 1.5 inches/ 4 cm at the rim.

A great chance to purchase a piece of Irish designed and made pottery, from a pottery no longer in production. Her limited work is only going to get more rare and difficult to find, so now is your chance to own a small piece of late 20th Century design history.

I also have another few Suzanne May items for sale in the same pattern, in my other ads and more coming soon, see the last couple of photos.

Post available for €7, well packed.

Other Vintage, Retro, Mid Century Modern, and Studio Pottery and Glassware items to follow in the coming weeks!
