Plates

I do a variety of plates in 15th and 16th century styles.  I create museum reproductions and original designs.  These plates are functional as well as decorative.

Reproduction Plates:

These plates are recreations of historic 15th and 16th century Italian maiolica.

These plates are recreations of 15th century Italian maiolica.  Color choices for maiolica were once very limited.

Original Plates:

Original Designs in Traditional Themes:

There are lots of traditional motifs and styles of Italian maiolica.  I create designs that are in the traditional styles.  

Original Designs:

I also create original designs that reflect Italian maiolica.
