"Ceramicist: Masters of Clay and Artistry" Step into the world of ceramicists, where clay is transformed into exquisite works of art. Lucie Rie, a renowned potter, mesmerizes with her delicate creations that embody elegance and simplicity. Amongst the treasures lies a pair of Wedgewood mugs, capturing the grandeur of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. These commemorative pieces serve as reminders of historical moments frozen in time. A Deruta lustred portrait dish takes us on a journey to ancient times, depicting a fierce warrior painted in blue and lustred in yellow. Its intricate details transport us to another era. The Deruta large portrait dish from 1530 showcases the mastery of ceramics through its stunning craftsmanship. Every stroke tells a story, revealing the skillful hands behind this timeless piece. In contrast, an earthenware group presents Politos Menagerie of Wonderful Burds - whimsical creatures brought to life through clay. Their playful presence adds charm and character to any space they inhabit. Another Deruta masterpiece captures our attention - a blue and gold lustred portrait dish showcasing a young woman in profile. The delicacy with which she is portrayed leaves us captivated by her beauty. Moving forward in time, we encounter Chamberlains Worcester slender oviform black-ground vase from 1825. This ceramic marvel stands tall as an example of innovation combined with traditional techniques. Artistic expressions extend beyond pottery alone; "Untitled" depicts an accident during plaster figure selling in the early 1800s through hand-colored engraving. It serves as a reminder that even mishaps can become art-worthy moments frozen forever on paper. "Pallissy's Wife Awaits Her Hero's Hour" lithograph transports us back to romantic tales where love endures amidst trials and tribulations – reminding us that true devotion knows no bounds or limitations.
