Platter c. 1936

"Platter" is a ceramic platter created by American artist Helmut Hiatt in 1936. The platter depicts a detailed landscape scene with a large building in the center, surrounded by trees and a body of water. It is decorated with a floral border and a stylized depiction of clouds in the background. This piece is an example of transferware, a technique where a printed design is transferred onto the surface of the ceramic object.
