This fine art screen print is of the engine of the Maserati 300S. Widely considered to be one of the finest handling front-engined sports cars of all time, the 300S was initially developed using the 2.5 litre straight-six engine fitted in the 250F Grand Prix racer, before the engineers soon discovered that this was underpowered compared to their rivals at Ferrari and Jaguar. Development of a larger version was started, eventually creating a three-litre capable of producing 245 bhp. Though more time-consuming to build, the car’s intricate and advanced tubular space frame design was both light and stronger than a conventional chassis. The car benfutted from double wishbone suspension with vertically mounted coil springs over dampers at the front, whilst at the rear a sophisticated DeDion axle was fitted, complete with a transverse semi-elliptic leaf spring and hydraulic dampers. The transverse gearbox was mounted in unit with the differential, which added some more load to the rear wheels. Large, finned drums provided the 300S with sufficient stopping power. The car’s balance and handling drew praise far and wide and for many drivers, such as the great Sir Stirling Moss, it was a favourite. In the hands of the right racers, the 300S could get around a circuit quicker than many larger-displacement competitors. Piloted by prestigious racers like Juan Manuel Fangio, Moss, Luigi Musso, Briggs Cunningham, Jean Behra, Roberto Mières, Masten Gregory, Piero Taruffi, Cesare Perdisa, Hans Herrman and Carroll Shelby, the 300S raced with great success and firmly earned its position in the annals of sportscar history.

Amalgam Collection and Alan Thornton

Amalgam is delighted to partner with artist Alan Thornton to introduce a collection of silkscreen prints. Precise and technical in nature, these prints isolate the subject, laying the image onto Alan’s signature metallic background, that focuses the viewer’s eye on the sculptural, organic qualities of iconic cars and planes. Alan’s obsession with form, function and beauty, combined with his enduring passion for all things automotive and mechanical, align perfectly with Amalgam’s mission.

The Process

Screen printing is the process of transferring a stencilled artwork onto a flat surface using a mesh screen, ink and a squeegee. Starting with the photography, the subject matter is composed and lit with the intermediate processes and the final print in mind - each step very much influences the final outcome. In post-production the image is refined and manipulated to create the final tonal variations needed for the separation of colours, which are then half toned which simulates continuous-tone imagery through the use of dots or lines, varying either in size or in spacing, thus generating a gradient-like effect. For each colour, a positive acetate is transferred to a silk screen frame coated in photosensitive emulsion. Following exposure, washing out and drying, the frame is mounted on a to print bed, and the chosen colour ink is then forced through the mesh with a squeegee by hand. This is a highly skilled craft process, sensitive to the touch, feel and technique of the printer, and as a result each print is unique.

Handling Your Print

Art screen prints are best handled by professional framers. We would always recommend framing your print with a box frame under UV protected glass or acrylic, which will give maximum protection. When removing your print from the tube, reach in with clean hands and gently twist the print to make it smaller, slowly pull the print out from the centre. Do not pull quickly at a corner as you may damage the corner. Try to physically handle the print as little as possible and, when you do, always make sure your hands are clean and that you support the print fully, as the paper can pick up dirt or crease. Try to avoid leaving the print rolled for any length of time.

Prints of the Maserati 300S are limited to just 200 pieces. No frame is included. By purchasing this print, you agree and consent to your information being shared with Alan Thornton for use in the fulfilment of your order.

Poor quality and unusable finish
Size: 12 in-100 count
Very poor plates, fiber coming off the edges. You have to wipe them before you use each one. Never seen that with paper plates ever!!

Great oversized plate for the biggest of meals

High quality, soak proof, large plate. Perfect when we are doing a big spread. I have used these for 3 different dinners. Held up to everything! Would highly recommend if you are looking for a platter size plate that looks nice and is safe to use in the microwave.

Sturdy & worth it
These plates are super sturdy and reliable! I’ve used them for parties and everyday meals, and they hold up really well—even with heavier or messy food. They don’t get soggy or bend easily, which is a huge plus. Makes cleanup so much easier without worrying about spills. Definitely a go-to for gatherings or busy days!

perfect size
purchased for entertaining when I need convenience and quantity. good for larger gatherings- they look good, hold a lot of food without leaking. Strong enough to carry loaded with food without sagging, thick enough to cut meat and not cut through the plate. Can warm up food in microwave and not worry. After the party just toss in the garbage for easy clean up. I will continue to buy these plates.

Nice Platters for family Thanksgiving take out
The family used these to take some Thanksgiving food home. These paper platters are sturdy and hold food without bending or leaking. I like the size because it works well for bigger meals or when I don’t feel like washing dishes. They make serving and cleanup quick and simple.
