Winans’ work is known for mid‑century modern influences, contrasting glazes, and organic slab‑built forms, all reflected in this piece.

The dish features a striking two‑tone glaze: deep matte black on one side and warm rust‑brown on the other, separated by an organic transition line. The surface includes subtle carved and impressed geometric markings that add texture and visual interest. The underside bears the artist’s inscribed signature within a recessed oval, consistent with known examples of her studio pottery.

Sculptural and functional, this piece displays beautifully as tabletop decor, entryway catchall, or art object within a curated mid‑century collection. A unique, artist‑made work with strong visual presence and collectible appeal.
