Plate 1750 - 1799

This Whieldon type plate, dating from the late 18th century, is a fine example of English earthenware. The plate's distinctive marbled glaze, known as "tortoise-shell" or "agateware," was a popular decorative technique of the period. The plate features a scalloped rim with a repeating, stylized pattern. The plate's decorative glaze and elaborate rim design exemplify the craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of the time. It's a beautiful example of the type of earthenware tableware that was produced in England during the 18th century.
