A large Sascha Brastoff Surf Ballet chop platter in the black marbled glaze, 18 inches across.

Brastoff ran one of the most ambitious ceramics studios in post-war Los Angeles, backed by Winthrop Rockefeller, and Surf Ballet was his signature effect — the marbling was made by floating glaze on water and drawing the piece through it, so no two are identical. Deep black breaks into liquid grey and white across a freeform wavy rim. This is the large platter, the biggest size the pattern was made in.

It works either way. Set it on a table and it is a serving platter with real presence. Put it on a plate hanger and it is abstract wall art — at 18 inches it is big enough to anchor a gallery wall on its own, or to be the one piece that pulls a black-and-white arrangement together.

The underside carries the full gold signature backstamp with the stylised rooster.

Shopping Vintage Saves The World

Choosing vintage isn’t just a style statement — it’s a sustainable lifestyle. When you shop vintage clothing, retro fashion, and secondhand treasures, you help reduce textile waste, lower carbon emissions, and slow the fast fashion cycle. Every pre-loved piece keeps one more item out of landfills and conserves the resources needed to make something new. It’s eco-friendly fashion with timeless flair.

The vendors at Bliss work tirelessly to save beautiful treasures from the landfill while serving you curated looks to bring home.

When you come to checkout, you might also notice that we strive to use recycled materials as often as possible. Collectively, we bring in boxes and packing materials to be repurposed to protect your finds.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for choosing to shop sustainably and support local. Every time you pick a vintage find or a secondhand gem from our shop, you’re making a powerful statement — one that says you care about the planet and the community.

Your conscious choices help reduce waste, cut down on pollution, and breathe new life into quality pieces that deserve a second story. And by supporting a local business like ours, you're helping build a more resilient, connected, and creative neighborhood.

We’re so grateful to be part of your journey toward a more thoughtful and eco-friendly lifestyle. Thank you for making a difference — one beautiful piece at a time.
