About the Item

Welsh Arts & Crafts Peacock Charger by John Lang, Aberamffra, circa 1910–1925 12.5" diameter x 1.5" high A richly decorated Arts & Crafts period ceramic charger by Welsh studio potter John Lang of Aberamffra, North Wales, signed and inscribed to the base. The charger features a boldly modeled and hand-painted peacock in full display, encircled by scrolling foliate and floral motifs in deep turquoise, cobalt, and emerald glazes. The peacock, long a symbol of beauty, rebirth, and immortality, was a favored subject in Art Nouveau and Arts & Crafts design, reflecting both naturalism and spiritual allegory. Lang’s work is notable for its robust modeling, jewel-like glazes, and regionalist character, aligning him with the broader British decorative arts movement of the early 20th century. The concentric impressed borders and incised detailing create a sense of rhythmic movement, while the stylized floral garlands echo motifs by Walter Crane and other contemporaries in the English Art Workers’ tradition. This example, at 12.5 inches in diameter, displays particularly vivid color and glaze depth, with the condition remaining excellent for its age—no cracks or repairs, only light surface wear consistent with use and display. Comparable signed Welsh studio chargers of this type are scarce, and Lang’s association with Aberamffra situates the piece firmly within the Welsh Arts & Crafts revival. A striking decorative object with both academic and collector appeal.
