Curatorial Remarks

Note

Platter was given to HHV as single piece; no exact matching piece is in the HHV collection, however, the platter most closely resembles tureen (SS.88.1 a-b) and so they are displayed together at Sunnyside. John Wedgwood was NOT related to Josiah Wedgewood and the well-known Staffordshire pottery [Jessa J. Krick, Collections Manger, 2/27/2017].
