Mari Simmulson

Rare Large dish by Mari Simmulson NEW
The Best Things
Click for larger image

This is a very rare piece, it was done as a limited edition of only 200 and was a special commission for an insurance company. It is marked on the back with the name of the insuramce company, UE sticker, impressed UE and MS mark as well as 106/200. It measures 12 1/2" x 12 1/2" and approx. 1 3/4" high. Great graphics on the front. I great condition with the exception of a couple of chips where the wire hanger is on the back. The hanger is still secure and since it is hidden on the back it really doesn't detract from this very unusual piece.

Wall Plaque Mari Simmulson (1)
The Best Things
Click for larger image

I just love these designs by Simmulson, I think they are great. This plaque measures 11 3/4" x 6". It does have some issues though; on the front there are numerous glaze bubbles, some of which have popped and caused the piece to be marked as second quality. There are also some glaze loss on a couple of corners and along the top. None of which is noticeable when the piece is hanging and it's still great for display.

Another plaque in the same series by Simmulson. It measures 11 3/4" x 6". This one is a first quality and is in very good condition. The only thing worth mentioning is a white spot on her cheek (see pic). This obviously happened in production and has not caused the piece to be marked as a second. Great piece.
