Fish Plate with Rope Edge - Toff Milway
This impressive salt-glazed plate by Toff Milway captures the energy and rhythm of fish in flowing motion - one of his most recognisable motifs. Hand-thrown in his Conderton workshop in Gloucestershire, the design is carved and slip-trailed in rich blues and warm clay tones, framed by a beautifully tactile rope-edged rim.
The intricate sgraffito detailing gives life and texture to each fish, while the salt glaze adds a soft sheen and variation that can only be achieved through Toff’s traditional firing process. Every piece is subtly unique - shaped by both the maker’s hand and the alchemy of the kiln.
Functional yet decorative, this plate embodies the Arts & Crafts principles of beauty and utility - a piece to be used, displayed, and enjoyed for generations.
