Disappointingly, when I opened the kiln on this plate's 4th and last fire I found a crack had developed three quarters of the way through the middle of it. The design is inspired from a print out of a book printed by Jayne Marcks.I'm glad the plate hadn't actually broken into two pieces, and I'm glad that the crack didn't appear on earlier firings. The apples were fun to paint, and I shall probably paint the design on something else one day soon.
