Item Description

This 15 inch x 11" 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 that reads:"‘Morone saxatilis’  Striped bass (stripers, rockfish) are spiny-finned hunters inhabiting temperate Atlantic and Pacific coastal waters and freshwater lakes.  Spawning in estuaries or rivers.  The Latin name means ‘dwelling amongst rocks.’"

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. 

Shipping is included (continental U.S. only).
