A Gemma Orkin Aubergine Plate

Ah yes, the famous aubergine. Or eggplant. Or brinjal. Or guinea squash if you’re in the American South. Or brown jolly if you’re in the West Indies. Or mad apple if you happen to be in 16th-century Italy. Take your pick, but do choose one of these charming dishes by Capetonian ceramicist Gemma Orkin.
