Professional Description

Bring a wave of artisanal, vintage charm to your dining presentation with this beautiful set of two discontinued Crate & Barrel "Susie" dinner/buffet plates. Thoughtfully conceptualized by acclaimed studio ceramics artist Barbara (B.) Eigen, these oversized 12-inch plates are a spectacular marriage of sculptural form and everyday functional art.
Each plate features a high-gloss, deep teal turquoise glaze that pools beautifully in the folds of the heavily ruffled, scalloped rim. The dramatic organic curves mirror natural floral or petal formations, making these pieces ideal as striking accent plates, buffet chargers, or center-table serving platters for your next gathering.
Because this beloved pattern has long been retired, finding examples in this flawlessly preserved state is a rare treat for collectors of European-made Crate & Barrel history. Whether expanding your current "Susie" collection or looking for that perfect splash of rich coastal color to anchor your holiday tablescape, these plates offer timeless mid-century elegance that elevates any meal.
