Pair of handmade studio pottery plates with hand‑painted fish motifs in brown/iron‑oxide tones. Each plate is wheel‑thrown stoneware with a speckled glaze. The bases show incised lines that appear to be the potter’s signature, but the signature is not recognized. One plate measures approximately 8.25 inches in diameter and the other approximately 9 inches. Both show light wear consistent with age and handmade production. Time frame: mid to late 20th century. Likely a known artist, I just can't make out the signature.
