This 18th-century ceramic plate, created by an anonymous artist, displays a distinctive pattern. The center of the plate features a mottled glaze in shades of brown, green, and yellow. The plate's rim is adorned with a raised, geometric design and decorative motifs in the same colors as the glaze. The plate is a testament to the artistry of anonymous creators, showcasing a unique blend of patterns and colors typical of the time. This piece, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a beautiful example of 18th-century decorative ceramics.
Comments
The tortoiseshell appearance on this plate is the result of colored glazes. The kaleidoscope of colors are derived from oxides, such as iron, copper, and manganese. The English potter Thomas Wieldon perfected the process, and objects similar to this plate are often called Wieldon type wares.
