Physical Description: Light grey glazed ceramic plate crackled grey ceramic glaze with (one each) orange reddish-orange and yellow dots, a large green splash, and black-rust colored platter line reaching around one edge of the center of the plate. The plate has a raised narrow rim and a wider flat rim. The object is signed by inscription by the artist on the base "Sperry 79".
Description: Safeco Exhibition Text says: "Robert Sperry integrates elements from such seemingly diverse areas as chemistry and calligraphy in his ceramic pieces. The types of glazes he employs are difficult to control and require expert knowledge of ceramic science. Sperry's method of applying these glazes reflects the influence the Japanese tradition has had on his work. Sperry is drawn to natural forms, as the overall effect of his work shows."
