Plate (part of a set of six) 1785 - 1795

This 18th-century tin-glazed earthenware plate, part of a six-piece set, was created by English potter John Turner. The plate's design features a scene of four figures seated at a table, a common motif in decorative arts of the period. The scene is framed by a decorative border with floral motifs and the inscription “De Maateyd.” The plate is a notable example of English ceramic production and highlights the decorative tradition of the 18th century. The use of bright, colorful glazes and the depiction of a social scene showcase the artistry and craftsmanship of the time.
