Description
A very rare 18th-century English creamware moulded plate, decorated with a richly modelled border of vines and fruit, dating to circa 1770.
The trailing branches and fruiting clusters are left in biscuit relief, while the ground and surrounding border are enamelled under the glaze, creating a striking contrast that highlights the sculptural detail.
This is an exceptionally well-made example, with remarkably crisp moulding throughout, and a pleasing pale cream glaze typical of high-quality English creamware of the period.
Decorative relief wares of this type are scarce survivors, and this plate offers a fine combination of form, texture and Georgian ornamental taste.
