Ceramic Plate with Wood Handle

This ceramic piece by Nelis Singels is a functional, organic work of art that beautifully illustrates his "ecology on a plate" philosophy. The plate itself features an asymmetrical, hand-formed oval shape with a soft cream glaze, serving as a canvas for a delicate blue sgraffito or hand-painted illustration of local flora. The most striking feature is the handle, which is crafted from a natural, weathered wooden branch. This rustic element is secured to the ceramic base through small, integrated loops at either end using decorative copper wire wrapping. The contrast between the smooth, refined ceramic and the rough, textured bark of the stick creates a tactile connection to the wild landscape of the Overberg, perfectly embodying the artist's focus on the marriage between the natural environment and everyday utility.
