This handcrafted decorative ceramic plate features a colorful and whimsical night owl sitting on a branch beneath a moonlit sky. Designed by Mexican artisan Maria Isabel Cruz, the plate is made using the centuries-old dry rope technique, in which a wax mixture made of magnesium oxide and fat are applied to the outlines of the image or motif prior to glazing. The wax mixture creates a barrier that keeps the different fill colors in the design separate during firing, before burning off to reveal the blackened ceramic beneath. The plate can be hung on a wall for display via the nylon cord on the back.

I gave this plate as a gift. My friend is a Owl lover. She was so excited to hang on her wall for all her visitors to see. The design and details are so beautiful. Thanks to Isabel and Novica.??

I love this cute Maria. I had to look up the origin of the design. The plate is well made and sturdy. Very colorful and the design stands out. It would make a great gift for a baby or a young childs birthday, something for their room.

Ms. Cruzs ceramics are always a delight and make me smile. This winged woman is particularly jolly. I love the colors and the light humour. Ive collected many of her plates and rotate hanging a few of them at a time. Its interesting to read how they are made and to notice the use of detail when you stop and take a break or meditate. They always bring a smile to my face.
