Diana Poor NZ Hand-Decorated Square Plates – Pair (19cm)

This smaller matched pair of square plates was hand-decorated by New Zealand ceramic artist Diana Poor, dating to her 1990s–early 2000s dinnerware production.

The design echoes her coastal influences, with flowing fish motifs framing a central floral pattern in blue and terracotta slips. At 19 cm square, these plates work beautifully as side plates, decorative accents, or wall pieces.

With over four decades as a working ceramic artist, Diana Poor’s work is well documented and widely collected in New Zealand. These plates offer a quietly confident example of her functional studio ware.
