An extraordinary, exhibition-scale 26-inch original Postmodern studio pottery wall art platter by celebrated American ceramicist David McCracken. Masterfully hand-thrown and executed using advanced multi-glaze Raku firing techniques, this massive three-dimensional focal object beautifully bridges industrial Post-War geometric abstraction with the organic textures of the late 20th-century Studio Craft Movement.
The expansive face showcases a sophisticated color-blocked composition featuring bold teal blue fields, deep charcoal geometric blocks, and fluid, high-contrast slip-painted striped borders. The defining highlight is McCracken's spectacular mastery of the Raku method, leaving a highly tactile, deeply crackled off-white glaze that catches ambient room lighting with incredible surface depth.
Featuring integrated wiring channels on the reverse for secure wall-mounted exhibition, this signed, museum-grade ceramic statement piece is display-ready. It serves as a phenomenal, high-character architectural anchor to style a mid-century sideboard, a minimalist fireplace mantel, or a contemporary residential entry gallery.
• Artist: David McCracken (Signed "McCracken" in the paste on reverse)
