Highly Detailed Hawkes Gravic Grapes Plate – SOLD

Gravic Grapes is perhaps the rarest of the Hawkes Gravic work – I’ve only ever seen one other piece! This plate is signed on the edge with the Hawkes Gravic logo.

The realistic engraving is incredibly detailed on this plate. A branch drapes across the upper portion of the plate. Dangling from the branch is a bunch of grapes surrounded by tendril vines. Five incredibly cut and vibrant leaves surround the outer portion of the plate in between some more realistic engraving. The plate has an unusual scalloped edge which only contributes to its attractiveness. This piece is on an extremely thick blank and gives the appearance of heavily carved rock crystal.

The plate measures 7 7/8″ wide, 1″ tall and is 3/8″ thick! The blank is extremely thick, heavy and clear and the engraving detail precise and accurate. It’s in perfect condition with only some surface scratches. You can see little dimples on each grape! This piece is similar to owning a painting and is an incredible piece of artwork.
