Emily Stackman Australia Studio Pottery Platypus Plate and Bowl Chinese occupation painting given pride of place onThis charming matching plate and bowl set were made by Emily Stackman (now Emily Laszuk), a professional potter based Miranee, Lewis Ponds, NSW, Australia, who has been creating pottery since the mid 80s.
