Extra-large platter in a magnesium glaze with white slip by David Collins from September 2025.

With a wide, flat base and gently sloping sides, this masterful but understated piece is perfect for serving large portions, yet elegant enough to hold its own as a centrepiece on a large dining table.

It features a brown speckled underside and an interior of creamy oatmeal, with subtle concentric detailing around the edge of the base.
