A1982.14.47Description
Circular plate decorated with a powder blue ground with four fish-shaped reserve panels on the rim and a large pillow-shaped panel in the center with ogee-curved sides, containing a chinoiserie landscape scene with a latticework fence, pine tree, and figure.
The shape of the central panel and the design of the chinoiserie latticework fence, pine tree, and figure suggest that this plate was probably made at the pottery of William Griffith (d. 1761) at Lambeth High Street in London (Archer, Delftware (1997), 143-144). The pottery was established in the former Hereford House in Lambeth High Street from about 1732. Griffith operated the pottery by about 1740, and by 1751 it was known as Griffith’s. Its output was considerable, and his 1761 obituary claimed that he was “the most considerable potter in England” (Britton, London Delftware (1987), 55-56).Collection
