Dish 1700 - 1710

This 18th-century earthenware dish, created by John Wright, is a striking example of English slipware. The dish features a central decorative motif of stylized floral designs, all painted in a rich brown slip. The rim of the dish is decorated with a geometric pattern of squares, creating a visual contrast. This piece is a testament to the artistry of English potters in the early 18th century, showcasing their skill in both form and decoration. The inclusion of John Wright's name in the inscription along the rim further adds to the historical and cultural significance of the artwork.
