when i first began making pottery back in 1994, i stamped my work “EAR” with an image of my hand. for some reason, i felt strange stamping in my real name. maybe it felt too permanent or too conspicuous. but EAR is actually my name spelled backwards and i thought this would be funny, especially with the hand . . . to me it read “handmade by rae”.
i’ve unearthed stacks of these old plates with the EAR back stamp. and though some say these plates should be worth MORE money, i am selling them at our bigĀ seconds sale next week for SUPER CHEAP. out with the old . . . in with the new.
