RARE 1985 Laurel Izard Izwin Pottery Platter 12x11 Signed & Dated
Offered for your collection is a significant, early-career ceramic masterpiece by award-winning artist Laurel Izard. Dated 1985, this hand-painted platter represents the peak of her "Izwin" studio period, blending ancient iconography with mid-80s Post-Modern whimsy. The central motif features a stylized Greek Krater (wine-mixing vessel) housing three playful dancing figures. The piece is framed by an architectural arch and classic checkered borders, showcasing Izard's signature "anthropological" approach to modern art. Laurel Izard (MFA, University of Wisconsin-Madison) is a celebrated multidisciplinary artist. While she is currently renowned for her museum-exhibited fiber art, her 1980s ceramic works are highly coveted for their narrative depth and bold, primary-color palettes. No chips, cracks, or repairs.

The high-gloss glaze remains vibrant and reflective. Signature: Clearly signed "Laurel Izard" and dated "1985" on the side edge. Dimensions: Approximately 12" x 11" x 1. This is a one-of-a-kind piece of studio history and will be treated as such.

Double-Boxed: Wrapped in heavy-duty bubble wrap and secured in an inner box.
