Emily Stackman Australia Studio Pottery Platypus Plate and Bowl Native American sculpture T Swann Company in Tampa

T Swann Company in Tampa

executed in lush

this piece could be used as a vase or as a watering pitcher for plants

as it seems what was once a cloth interior lining has been removed

I love the silhouette and interplay of parts on this one

Emily Stackman Australia Studio Pottery Platypus Plate and Bowl Native American sculpture T Swann Company in TampaThis charming matching plate and bowl set were made by Emily Stackman (now Emily Laszuk), a professional potter based Miranee, Lewis Ponds, NSW, Australia, who has been creating pottery since the mid 80s. They are my very favorite examples of her work that I have seen, perhaps in part because of the fabulous nature of the platypus itself! Stoneware, hand thrown and hand painted, I think they make the perfect pieces for serving cocktail hour snacks,
