Plate, by Jason Shackleton

This lead-glazed earthenware plate was made by the Scottish artist Jason Shackleton in 1983.

The plate is decorated with a large bird in the centre made with sgraffito (a technique where lines are drawn through the glaze to expose the body). Below are two smaller birds. Smaller birds' heads also form a border around the rim.

During the 1980s the Scottish Development Agency purchased a number of hand-crafted items for its Scottish Crafts Collection. The aim of the collection was to inform the public of craft production in Scotland through touring exhibitions and education programmes. When the Scottish Craft Council was wound up, the collection was transferred to the National Museums of Scotland.
