                        Extreme plates, Brevard edition
                                        
As we were driving around, it looked like an interesting place. So we stopped
by Mud Daubber's of Brevard [1]. On the outside, it's a ramshackle building
that looks like a stiff breeze would knock it over. On the inside is an
incredible collection of pottery, all made locally.

One piece caught my eye—a plate:

[This is giving those 19th Century illustrators a serious run for their
money.] [2]
 

The level of detail is incredible and upon asking, I learned that the artist
pressed real leaves into the clay before firing. The leaves burn away,
leaving an impression that is then enhanced, giving it this beautiful 19^TH
Century illustrative look.

It's just an incredible piece of work.
