Korond / Corund is a well known pottery hub in the heart of Transylvania, Romania, dating back to the 1600's. Although it is unclear how pottery began in Korond, legend has it that the art was handed down to them divinely, and it started when the world began. The pottery began as a strict hand-made trade and only began to use the electric potter’s wheel in 2015. The entire process of making and decorating pottery in Korond is done by hand. Not only does this guarantee that each piece of pottery is unique, but it also shows how dearly the Korond potters hold their traditions.This decorative plate is at least 22 years old but was never used. Please see the provenance explanation below. Please note these types of plates were mostly meant to be decorative objects. Great fit in a beach house, farm house, country, cottage, or bohemian decor. Because they were 100% hand thrown and carved, they will feature pattern, finish, and measurement irregularities & inconsistencies, but no chips or cracks. They are all signed / marked on the bottom - signature style will differ from plate to plate.Bisque (chalky) finish - the white finish appears to have rubbed off in some areas (mostly on the ruffled rim) - typical for this type of finish.These plates' measurements range as follows: Diameter: 9"; Height: 1"; Weight: 1lb - 1lb 2oz.**** About the provenance of this item ****This item is part of a group of hand made textiles, hand carved wood, hand blown glass, and hand made ceramics that was acquired about 23 years ago from Romania (most from the Transylvania region) for a store our family operated in Ohio. Eventually, the store closed, and all remaining merchandise ended up boxed up in storage in a relative's climate controlled warehouse, until our eBay store received them just recently. While we may have more than just one piece of a certain style, for the most part: 1. they will be only a few at best; 2. each of them will be unique; 3. once they are gone they cannot be replenished. All these items reflect, one way or another, some aspect of the Romanian cultural heritage - and its appreciation for the creativity, uniqueness, imperfections and charm of hand crafted wares over the monotony and volumes of the assembly lines.Thank you for visiting our store, we appreciate your interest and business!
