Eva Gordon is known for her sculptural fruit and vegetable ceramics, prized for their realism, craftsmanship, and playful yet refined aesthetic. The carrots are hand-formed with elongated tapered shapes, incised surface detailing, and richly layered orange and ochre glazes that give them a lifelike, dimensional appearance. The lush green tops are sculpted with movement and tonal variation, creating a true three-dimensional still life that rises from the surface of the plate. The piece bridges fine art and decorative ceramics, functioning beautifully as wall art or as a display plate in a cabinet or kitchen setting. The plate is hand-signed “Eva Gordon” in green glaze on the front and retains its original “Made in Canada” label on the reverse, confirming its studio origin. Measuring 10.5 inches in diameter, it pairs perfectly with Gordon’s other vegetable subjects, including scallion, garlic, and radish plates, and is highly collectible within the world of late 20th century studio pottery and trompe-l’œil design.
