This is a functional Snack tray pottery created by Karen Brodie.
This tray comes with raised sides and a section in the middle to hold dips for any of your snacking pleasure.
The piece showcases a beautifully crafted, deep ceramic dish, characterized by its rich maroon hue and intricate swirling patterns reminiscent of natural formations. The larger plate features a slightly raised edge and a wide, shallow bowl form, which transitions into a smaller, central dish that sits snugly at its heart. This concave center contrasts elegantly with the expansive outer dish.
The coloration displays an artistic blending of earthy tones, with swirls of green, brown, and hints of metallic sheen that catch the light, suggesting a hand-crafted quality. The craftsmanship indicates possible symbolic significance, as such dish designs can represent community and sharing, often used for serving dishes in communal meals.
The overall shape may evoke organic themes, connecting the viewer to nature and the beauty of artisanal pottery. The harmonious proportions and colors invite a sense of balance and tranquility, making it not only a functional object but also a potential focal point in a space.
This piece was created in 2024.
The overall dimensions are 2 1/4" tall by 9 3/4" wide.
