Handmade Oyster Plate

EMPTY DOM REMOVE PROTECTOR
Sale price$169.00

The oyster plate you’ll reach for every time people come over

There’s something about an oyster plate that makes a table more elegant.  Melissa Bridgman’s are made by hand in Memphis, each individually formed, glazed, and painted — no two exactly alike. They carry that familiar heirloom feeling, but they’re meant to be used, not saved.

And when the last oyster is gone, they don’t disappear into a cabinet. Each plate is finished with a built-in hook, so it hangs easily on the wall — part serving piece, part story

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.
