On offer is a rare and highly imaginative signed studio pottery plate by Leonard Edger, created at the historic Ewenny Claypits Pottery in Wales. This sculptural plate is not only a decorative object but a storytelling artwork — rich in symbolism, folk influence, and artistic vision.

The plate features a relief scene depicting figures (children or spirits) encircling the lower rim of the plate, climbing upward toward a textured cloud formation, from which sun rays beam down onto a central white butterfly and delicate plant motifs. The message may be open to interpretation, evoking themes of growth, aspiration, hope, or even Welsh folklore and fairy tales. The handmade nature and narrative style suggest this was a unique or limited edition piece, and no comparable examples currently appear to be listed or catalogued.

Executed in natural, earthy tones with glazed highlights — particularly on the cloud and butterfly — the plate is a striking example of Welsh studio pottery with deep cultural roots. It is clearly signed “Ewenny Claypits” on the reverse, and bears Leonard Edger’s incised monogram on the front — further verifying its authenticity.

Measuring approx. 10.75 inches in diameter, this piece is in good vintage condition, with no chips or cracks noted. It would make a superb addition to any collection of British studio ceramics, modern folk art, or symbolic decorative pottery.
