A large footed stoneware platter by British ceramicist John Maltby (1936–2020), featuring a softly curved asymmetric form with glazed and enamel-painted decoration. Loose vertical brushwork in muted grey-blue and iron-rich rust tones moves across an off-white ground, punctuated by small floral and foliate motifs in deep red and black.
John Maltby was a leading figure in British studio ceramics, known for work that moved between functional pottery and sculpture. Trained at Leicester College of Art and later assistant to David Leach, he established his own studio in Devon, developing a distinctive ceramic language characterised by expressive surface treatment, painterly decoration and sculptural form.
