Large Handmade Oyster Platter

EMPTY DOM REMOVE PROTECTOR
Sale price$250.00

The oyster platter that becomes the centerpiece.

There are certain pieces that set the tone for an entire table.

Melissa Bridgman’s large oyster platter is made by hand in Memphis, each one shaped and painted with shell, barnacle, and urchin motifs that feel drawn from the coast itself. Generously sized to hold up to eighteen oysters, it turns a simple gathering into something that feels planned, abundant, and just a little bit memorable.

It’s not just a serving piece.
It’s the one everything else gathers around.

And as these are made as a special edition, we only receive a couple at a time.

Why Southern Hostesses Love Bridgman Ceramics

Bake, Serve, Stay at the Table

Baked oysters can go straight from oven to table in this beautiful, oven-safe serving dish.

No Two Are Exactly Alike

Each plate is individually made and painted, giving every plate subtle variations that feel personal — never mass-produced.

Lives Beautifully Between Gatherings

Melissa Bridgman's serving pieces are designed to hang as wall art. A built-in hook means it’s always part of your home, not tucked away.

Craftsman Profile

Bridgman Pottery

Melissa is a ceramist in Memphis, TN and a graduate of the University of Mississippi’s Center for the Study of Southern Culture. Her work exemplifies the very...Southern idea expressed by another notable UMiss grad that “the past isnt dead...it isn’t even past.” In our own experience, pieces like her deviled egg plates take us back to family reunions by the lake and Sunday afternoon dinners after church.

Melissa has said of her own work "The idea of hospitality plays a huge role in how I see my work being used, and I want everyday life to feel as special as the celebratory occasions we usually save our nice things for."

Her beautiful pieces have appeared in Garden and Gun, Southern Living, and Southern Home magazines.

There's something appealing about the simplicity of Melissa Bridgman's pottery...that seems to blend the primitive style of handcrafters of yesterday with the refinement you might find in your grandmother's china cabinet.
