Hand Painted Prattware Plaque Showing a Pair of Lions, Made England, circa 1800

About the Item

Provenance: The Rouse Lench Collection A pair of lions resting comfortably on a Prattware plaque molded in high relief. They probably just finished a big meal! Hand painted in three brown shades: their bodies are painted light brown, their manes and tails a darker brown, and their muzzles an almost black, midnight brown. The brushwork is intentionally prominent. The effect is splendid! As is the case with the lions on this plaque, Prattware has raised decoration colored with underglaze oxides. The plaque is pierced at the top for a hanging wire. Ref: See John and Griselda Lewis PRATTWARE English and Scottish relief decorated and underglaze colored earthenware 1780-1840 page 208, where it describes "a white bodied plaque with two reclining lions in relief 253mm x 311mm". Also, see ref; The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art (Burnap Collection) b.851 (BI 305) Dimensions: 11" x 9" x 2" height Condition: Excellent Price: $450 Background of Prattware: Prattware is a pottery style made in the late 18th and early 19th centuries by over 20 English and Scottish factories. It takes its name from the Pratt family of Staffordshire potters. However, many other British factories, including those in Staffordshire, Yorkshire, Liverpool, Sunderland, and Scotland, also produced this type of pottery. Prattware always consists of pearled creamware decorated with figures or decorations in relief, fired at high temperature, with oxides painted under the glaze.
