This earthenware dish, decorated in slipware, depicts Charles II standing within a tree with two lions flanking him. Created by English potter Thomas Toft, the dish features a decorative pattern of brown and white, with the inscription "THOMAS TOFT" visible at the bottom. This piece, dating from 1675-1685, is a prime example of Toft's distinctive style, showcasing the use of slipware as a decorative art form. It is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
