EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning dish from the 17th century, specifically during the reign of James II. Crafted by Brislington Pottery, this tin-glazed earthenware piece is a true testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of that era. With its vibrant yellow background and intricate floral motifs in shades of purple and blue, this dish exudes a sense of baroque elegance. The crude yet charming depiction of flowers adds a touch of authenticity to this regal artwork. The central motif proudly displays the crown symbolizing monarchy and royalty, reminding us of James II's powerful rule as King of England. This charger plate serves as both an exquisite decorative item and a celebration of British history. The stylized pattern on this dish resembles delftware, popular during that time period. Its distinctive design reflects the artistic influences prevalent in Stuart England. As we gaze upon this portrait-like creation, we are transported back to an era filled with grandeur and opulence. Now housed at Fitzwilliam Museum within the University of Cambridge in the UK, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into our rich cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder not only of James II's reign but also highlights the significant role pottery played in shaping English art history during the 17th century.
