This listing is for a gorgeous handmade piece of ceramic pottery - a scalloped 7" plate with design - a sage green color. Signed on the bottom - Handmade by Monette. I bought this piece in Kentucky from Monette's son. Monette died in 2013 at the age of 89 in Owensboro, Kentucky (obituary below). Her son told me that she did ceramics years ago, so I'm assuming this piece is quite old. A very nice, unique piece!
