This unique studio pottery tray by Y. Nakashima (signature is slightly illegible and may read something else) beautifully blends organic form with a modern sensibility. Crafted from richly toned charcoal gray to black clay, the piece features a gently undulating rim and a textured surface with hand-carved crosshatch patterns. Pools of glossy glaze add contrast and depth, creating a visually arresting interplay of matte and shine. Perfect as a decorative catchall, centerpiece, or sculptural accent, this tray is signed on the underside by the artist, emphasizing its authenticity and handmade character. Very good handmade condition with minor wear. There is light scuffing along the edge and some small surface marks, including natural imperfections and tiny white specks from the clay body or firing process. These are consistent with studio pottery and do not detract from the visual appeal. No cracks or structural issues present. The glaze is stable and intact. 13.75" wide, 8.75" deep, and 1" high.
