EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Corinthian Ruins at the Wedgwood Factory in Staffordshire, England. The image captures the essence of 18th-century English artistry and craftsmanship, as it depicts a lead-glazed earthenware plate adorned with intricate floral motifs and a romantic scene of ruins. The plate's cream-colored rim is delicately decorated with featheredge patterns, while its surface features an enchanting design inspired by Athens' iconic Corinthian columns. A picturesque bridge spans over a serene river, leading to a temple nestled amidst lush greenery. This ornate decoration transports viewers to another time and place, evoking feelings of nostalgia and wonder. Printed in Liverpool by Guy Green, this piece exemplifies British ceramic art at its finest. The attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke and glaze application on this rococo-style plate. The use of enamel adds depth and richness to the overall composition. Displayed at the Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge in the UK, this artwork serves as a testament to Josiah Wedgwood's mastery in pottery making. It beautifully combines elements from various sources such as Ilissus River in Pola (now Pula), Istria region, creating an exquisite fusion of cultures. With its decorative charm and historical significance, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both fine art and cultural heritage simultaneously.
