Plate 1745 - 1775

This octagonal ceramic plate, crafted in the style of Thomas Whieldon, exemplifies English pottery from the mid-18th century. The plate features a distinctive mottled glaze in shades of brown, green, and blue, a characteristic of Whieldon's innovative techniques. This decorative style, often referred to as "Whieldon ware," was highly sought after during the period and remains a valuable collectible today. The plate, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a testament to the enduring artistry of English ceramics.
