I am an avid gardener and am re-visiting the use of leaves in my work. This leaf came from a tree in my yard. The leaf's veins show nicely. This platter has a coggled edge (crimped edge like a pie shell).

Maple Leaf Impressed Platter - LV212 - Handmade Leaf Plate in Red Earthenware
* Hand washing is recommended. The clay is porous, just like an unglazed terra cotta flower pot, and soaks up water quickly.
* Dry on a rack so air can circulate around the pottery.
* Place in a cold oven and then turn the oven on to avoid thermal shocks.
