Plaques – Hand made of John Rae

£50.00

These are limited edition hand made ceramics by the Orcadian Potter and our President, Andrew Appleby, with each one is unique, so there will be differences in shades of colour.

The original piece was sculpted by the renowned Orkney sculptor Frances Pelly in his Evie studio. A plaster mould of this was taken so Andrew can reproduce them for you.

JRS is extremely grateful to Frances.

As they are totally hand made, the shades may differ from piece to piece..

There is a label on the reverse which says ‘Dr. John Rae 1813 to 1893. Orkney’s own Arctic explorer who found the Northwest Passage. Also the fate of the doomed Franklin Expedition.   He was never knighted for his deeds nor explorations.   We honour him here.
