These are various Hagen Renaker Plaques, and all are hard to find. They were made in 1959 and 1960. Three types of plaques and several trays were made. Some of the plaques were Mosaic and put together on wood, like a puzzle with just a few pieces. The bottles plaque is all ceramic although I have seen a Mosaic variation of it. The other plaques and all the trays were made of pottery that resembled Arizona Flagstone. A design adorns each piece making them look similar to primitive cave paintings.
Hagen Renaker Mosaic Plaques. The first plaques pictured here are separate pieces of pottery, mounted on wood that form a design, like puzzle pieces fitted together. All are quite rare.
