Skull Plate by Reaperware

Reaperware was born out of an idea of simplicity: to be able to make functional objects that fulfill the maker as well as the user. To provide a service that gave an aesthetic ‘vibe’ without feeling fussy, precious, and non useful.

Adam Miller, a gallerist who owns The Pit and an artist as well, is a longtime fan of the form. In addition to his painting and sculpture practice, he is now creating ceramic objects that straddle the line between art, design, and craft, noting that working with clay breaks down the hierarchical nature of those three disciplines. Each piece throughout the collection is singular, as each one is handmade in conjunction with Grace Ha, the lead fabricator for Reaperware. That said, each piece is meant to be used, and actually enjoyed, and not just an adornment for a table setting.

The Reaperware name is a nod to Adam’s youth, which included metal, punk, goth, new wave and pulp horror films. The logo was created in collaboration with his young son, River. It's a tongue in cheek reminder to be in the moment, and not take any of this too seriously. Serve yourself, serve your friends, enjoy your time together, and repeat!

Each dinner plate measures approx. 11.5 x 11.5 x 0.5 inches. Due to the handmade nature of this item, variations in glaze application, etc. are intentional and expected. The skull you receive will be different from the one pictured.
