This beautiful set of four hand-painted ceramic plates, each depicting one of the four seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—holds a special place in my heart. I brought them home after my Mama, Fay Lankford, passed away, as a beautiful reminder of her that I deeply treasure.
For years, she found joy in doing ceramics, going so far as to keep a kiln on her back porch. With meticulous care, she poured, cleaned, fired, and painted this set in 1983. Her name, “Fay,” is proudly inscribed on the back of each plate, a personal touch that makes them even more special.
In her lifetime, she displayed these plates in the dining rooms of two different homes. Today, they reside in my kitchen, where they greet me every time I walk in—a constant reminder of her. Truly, they are family treasures.
