This simple yet elegant wooden plate, crafted by American artist James Prestini in 1951, exemplifies the beauty of natural materials and the artistry of woodworking. The plate's circular form and smooth surface showcase the inherent texture of the wood, highlighting the grain and its natural variations. Its understated design and masterful execution make it a fine example of 20th-century studio pottery.
