An exquisitely crafted, rich wood plate by American master Woodturner Bob Stocksdale. Signed and marked ("Jenisero from Guatemala") by the artist on the verso. The piece radiates in the light. Stocksdale's many honors include the American Association of Woodturners Lifetime Achievement Award (1998) and the Masters of the Medium Award, James Renwick Alliance (2003). Stocksdale received the American Craft Council’s Gold Medal in 1995. His works are prized by collectors and appear in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Oakland Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh, Scotland to name a few. Would be a fantastic addition to any collectors of his work or a great stand-alone accent piece. Dimensions: 17 3/4" diameter 

It has some light nicks and scratches, not bad for it's age : ) .
