Platter plate

 Platter plate created by TOAST New Maker Polly Liu. Raised in China and now living in South London, the ceramicist makes experimental mugs, jugs and platters at her Peckham studio. Her work is influenced by the Japanese Nerikomi technique which involves forming patterns from different coloured clays.

Shaped by hand by layering white, buff and black stoneware clay, finished with a glossy clear glaze. Each varies slightly in shape and colour.

This item is part of our New Makers programme. In its sixth year, five makers demonstrating excellence in skill, originality and craftsmanship have been chosen by a TOAST panel. We offer business and marketing advice, as well as a platform to sell their pieces until the end of this year, with full profits being returned to them.
