Dish 18th century

This 18th-century "Dish" by Samuel Malkin is a striking example of English delftware. The central oval medallion depicts a man, possibly a portrait of the artist himself, surrounded by a whimsical design of birds, tulips, and two running hounds. The overall effect is playful and decorative, typical of the period's aesthetic. This piece is a beautiful example of 18th-century English ceramics, showcasing Malkin's skill and the artistic trends of the time.
