A stoneware tray by British ceramicist John Maltby, of square form with integrated loop handles. Decorated with abstract painted and incised motifs against an earthy ground, the piece reflects Maltby's characteristic approach to surface, combining expressive mark-making with sculptural form.
John Maltby (1936–2020) was one of Britain's leading studio ceramicists. Trained at the Devon Guild Pottery under Michael Leach, he established his own studio in Devon, developing a distinctive body of work that drew on folklore, nature and the ancient world. His ceramics balance functional form with painterly decoration and sculptural invention, and are recognised for their individuality and craftsmanship.
