M A Hadley Pottery Dinner Plate Handmade Folk Art Farmer 11" Signed Near Perfect

Description: This folk art plate will add charm to your table or home decor. In near perfect condition. it was hand crafted and signed by M.A. Hadley of Louisville, Kentucky, a center of pottery-making for generations due to the abundance of ancient clay deposits in the region. The stoneware plate is hand painted in the maker’s signature style, which includes idyllic scenes in pastel colors on a soft white background. This beautifully executed example features a smiling farmer outlined in blue and wearing a pink hat, green polka dot shirt, and pink shoes. Ready to start a new day, he stands with rake in hand, clouds and birds overhead, and pink flowers under foot. A light blue band on the verge, a two tone blue band on the rim, and a glossy glaze overall complete the design. Measuring 11” in diameter, the plate stands about 1” high. Weighing 2 pounds 9 ounces, it is a solid and substantial piece. The bottom is hand signed “M. A. Hadley” in blue script. This plate is in near perfect condition and was likely used only for display. It has no chips, cracks, scratches, utensils marks, stains or crazing. The colors are rich with no fading, and the signature is crisp and clear. As shown in the photos, the piece shows small imperfections that are consistent with handcrafting. Minimal shelf ware on the bottom is the only evidence of gentle use.
