c1950s-60s🔆
SKU 116
Dimensions: 142 (W) × 24 (H) mm
Condition: Excellent no cracks or chips; KALAHARI mark clear on reverse
This midcentury Kalahari Studio plate features a striking, colourful geometric band of diamonds, triangles and stepped motifs, bordered by fine linework and dotted accents in a style reminiscent of Ndebele-inspired patterning. The outer rim carries evenly spaced yellow dots, adding rhythm and balance to the design. The central field is finished in a soft cream glaze with a gentle crackle effect, typical of Kalaharis midcentury surface treatments.
The reverse shows the handwritten KALAHARI mark and a fitted hanging wire, indicating it was intended for display. A strong example of the studios geometric decorative work from the Johannesburg and Cape Town periods, and highly collectable within the broader Kalahari output.
