Jennifer Stoner in Berkshire Homestyle magazine describes the customized "Tribute Plaques". 

Tribute plaques often require weeks of advance planning for info gathering, securing photos, and tweaking the design – all before the clay piece is started! Add nother 4 weeks for construction, drying, kiln firing, coloring and surface details, and you'll understand that this type of project should be considered well in advance.
