Emily Stackman Australia Studio Pottery Platypus Plate and Bowl Chinese occupation painting and there must once haveThis charming matching plate and bowl set were made by Emily Stackman (now Emily Laszuk), a professional potter based Miranee, Lewis Ponds, NSW, Australia, who has been creating pottery since the mid 80s. They are my very favorite examples of her work that I have seen, perhaps in part because of the fabulous nature of the platypus itself! Stoneware, hand thrown and hand painted, I think they make the perfect pieces for serving cocktail hour snacks,
