Edgar Miller produced hundreds, if not thousands, of hand-painted plates, bowls, teacups and other ceramics over the decades, mostly as gifts to friends and family.  This set, which was produced in his late eighties, was just one of many that Miller made to gift to his friends.  This particular quartet of plates features various types of antlered animals—figurations that Miller loved to portray across many media.  Caribou, antelope, deer, and other antlered animals were common sights during Miller’s childhood on the Idaho frontier, and Miller carried with him a romantic ideal of nature that he continuously brought to his art.
