Gordon Hull Hand Painted Large Platter

For August 2022, we’re releasing a new kind of Special Edition: An artist collaboration featuring 43 one-of-a-kind hand-decorated porcelain trays. The pieces, which are Serving Platters that come in two sizes, were each made by Jono and decorated in our studio by Gordon Hull. Jono and Gordon have been friends for many years, and Jono has had a collaboration in mind since he saw Gordon’s unique brushwork while visiting his house on Long Island. “I approach my work with a lot of energy and as much spontaneity as possible,” explains Gordon. “I let that dictate the choices I make. Each mark is definitive—there’s no going back. This makes everything a game of chance and raises the stakes to get it right with every stroke—or to find a way to fix what isn’t working.” This makes working with ceramics even more exciting. “Ceramics are interesting because, again, you can’t erase,” says Gordon. “I love the whole Jono vibe—it’s got this gorgeous, musical, earthy, considered minimalism. And it’s fabulous as a foundation for its intended purpose—to provide enjoyment and aesthetic beauty to its use.” Whether you decide to display your piece on a mantel or incorporate it into your next tablescape, you can rest assured that there will be nothing else out there quite like it.

Each piece is made of porcelain with an intentional heft that will ensure it lasts a lifetime. (They feature underglaze, a clear glaze, and are dishwasher-safe, too.) They are all stamped and numbered by the artists. Check out the all the plattershere!
