This large platter depicts a Blue Maine Lobster (Homarus americanus). Also known as American Lobster, Canadian Lobster or Atlantic Lobster, it is found on the Atlantic coast of North America, from Newfoundland to New Jersey. It thrives in cold, shallow waters where there are many rocks and other places to hide from predators.

The platter is handmade with Australian porcelain and hand painted with watercolour-like underglazes. As with all handmade objects, it may have some irregularities which contribute to its unique nature. It is fully functional and can be washed in the dishwasher, though I would recommend not putting in the microwave or oven as the abrupt changes in temperature might crack the clay.

The platter measures 37.5cm long, 29cm wide and about 2cm high and comes in its own recycled cardboard gift box. This is a listing for the product in the picture.
