To own a piece of handcrafted Fitch & McAndrew pottery is to peek through time itself—the design duo is dedicated to the art of slip decoration, first attributed to some of humanity’s earliest civilizations. To create each handmade piece, a liquid clay and mineral mixture—the slip—is applied to the pottery during its leather-hard stage, resulting in a painterly effect after firing. This serving plate bears a hypnotic motif of a dahlia in bloom, a folkloric take on Fitch & McAndrew’s love of nature. Due to the spontaneity inherent to the slip application process, it’s subtly one of a kind.
