"Knight on Horse" Tray, Rare Ceramic from Laguna Beach

About the Item

This extremely rare tray by Pat and Covey Stewart depicts a knight on horseback, varying from the more familiar "Bim Bashi" theme showing an exotic man in turban riding a horse. The Stewarts worked in Laguna Beach, California from 1950 to 1952, exhibiting in the town's annual art fair and selling their ceramic wares to high-end gift shops and hotel shops across the nation.
