Plate, entitled Moody Landscapes, by Douglas Davies

Add to album

This stoneware plate, entitled 'Moody Landscapes', was made by the Scottish artist Douglas Davies in 1980.

The large plate has a very dark glaze of landscape imagery and a matt black rim. The design was inspired by a long interest in landscape and natural colours and textures.

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.
