Studio Art Pottery Relief Charger with Floral and Geometric Designs

This is a large, circular decorative charger made of slip-cast or hand-formed ceramic, featuring high-relief, tube-lined ornamentation. The central motif depicts a stylized floral arrangement, possibly an iris or poppy, executed in vibrant shades of pumpkin orange, deep crimson, and chartreuse green. This central medallion is framed by a raised, metallic-bronze finished border that transitions into a wide flange decorated with repeating geometric zig-zags and triangles. The color palette is earthy yet bold, characteristic of late 20th-century studio pottery or Mid-Century Modern revival styles, approximately circa 1970s to 1990s. The glaze application appears to be a majolica or cuenca style, where raised lines separate the various colored glass glazes to prevent bleeding. The texture is highly tactile with significant depth between the recessed and raised elements. Notable condition issues include visible surface abrasions and several small chips along the raised ridges of the central flower and the outer rim, exposing the light-colored clay body underneath. There is a metallic sheen on the raised borders, suggesting a lustre or metallic glaze finish. No manufacturer marks are visible on the front face, though such pieces often contain signatures on the reverse. The craftsmanship exhibits a high degree of detail in the tube-lining process, though the wear suggests it has been used as a functional display piece over several decades.
