Some are plain, others are hand-carved and painted with fishes or her distinctive "doodle", which is known to everyone with whom she has worked in the past 20 years.

Many of the small trays are more decorative than dinner-ware utilitarian because of their shape or size. However, they are oven and dishwasher safe and are perfect sitting on a dinner table with sauce or condiments, on a coffee table with finger food, nuts or candies or displayed.

If you would like to Laurie to create a custom piece -- a particular type of fish [snapper, grouper, tuna] on a platter or casserole, or a particular size and color, contact Laurie to see what's possible. However, while Laurie is open to making commissioned pieces, keep in mind that no piece can be guaranteed to exactly meet your size and color specifications. A 25 percent nonrefundable deposit will be required for each special commission. As it is a time-consuming process, expect delivery no sooner than six weeks from order date.
