Item Description

This 15 inch x 11 inch Czech porcelain platter was fired in the U.K. and is dishwasher, microwave, oven and freezer safe. Artist Richard Bramble's artwork is accompanied by text which reads: "'Salmo trutta' Brown trout are native to Europe and Western Asia. Unlike sea trout which migrate, they remain in fresh water, spawning early winter. Territorial their appearance varies depending on their environment; carotene pigment from crustaceans eaten gives it red spots."

Item Special Note

From a tiny red cabin nestled in amongst cypress trees and a timeless pond, a family dreamed up the idea to capture America's most pristine treasures through art and porcelains.  Hence, Red Cabin was born.  Our ceramics are manufactured by Jersey Pottery on the small Island of Jersey off the coast of France using the finest Czech porcelains.  By traveling from the rugged outback of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range in California to the sea side villages of Massachusetts, Mr. Bramble observed the species painted in their natural environment, enabling him to capture the unique beauty only seen by personal encounters. 

The choice of quality found in Mr. Bramble’s art and Jersey Pottery’s ceramics was intentional, and has led to a practical ceramic that expresses the level of responsibility we have to artisans, honest business owners, and fair trade practices.
