This is a large stoneware plate or platter measuring 11" in diameter X 1" tall and signed Bringle on the back.  It is in excellent condition with no damage.  Please examine my pictures carefully as they are the best descriptors.  Any questions, please email.  Thanks!

Cynthia Bringle, a renowned potter based in Penland, North Carolina, is celebrated not only for her exquisite ceramic creations but also for her role as a teacher and mentor.  Her work can be found in museums and individual collections.  The surface of her pottery is a focal point.  It often features quick Japanese-referenced motifs or faceted and incised surfaces as I believe this piece shows.
