📦 About this Detroit dish
It's thick and feels substantial, more like a shallow tray, with a smooth, sand-colored back. The top is a busy, three-dimensional design of reversed rulers, keys, a wrench and screw, gears, an old car, the Spirit of Detroit statue and the words Detroit and Motor City, with deep letters filled in black. The colors are brushed on with an earthy, organic feel, and the seller describes a sepia-toned off-white glaze over brown clay highlighted with blues and greens. Unlike many of their dishes, this one has no feet. Listed details: handmade ceramic, food-safe glazes, about 11.5 by 5 inches and about 1.5 inches tall at the highest point. Mine was about $43, worth every penny.

🎨 About Merging Story Pottery
Two artists create urban art pottery, much of it about Michigan and Detroit, plus some designs for places like Chicago: vases, tiles, ornaments, dishes and more. I picked this up at the Southfield Pottery Market, and I believe they're based in Clarkston, Michigan.

💡 Use it on your desk or dresser for your phone, wallet, keys, coins, jewelry or small collectibles. Great for Detroit natives, Michigan expats and handmade pottery collectors.
