EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable platter created by the talented duo, James and Ralph Clews, in 1826. The exquisite piece of ceramic art was specifically designed for the American market, reflecting the strong bond between England and the United States during that era. Adorned with allegorical figures representing Justice and Liberty, this blue and white pottery masterpiece is truly awe-inspiring. The central scene depicts Justice holding a portrait of George Washington, while Liberty stands beside her wearing her iconic cap. These powerful symbols flank a picturesque landscape that evokes a sense of tranquility and freedom. Below them, the words "America" and "Independence" proudly proclaim their significance to this great nation. Surrounding the artwork are meticulously crafted names of various US states, emphasizing unity among diverse regions across America. Made in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire - renowned for its exceptional ceramics - this platter exemplifies British craftsmanship at its finest. Displayed within an esteemed art institute like Chicago's Art Institute of Chicago or any other reputable gallery or art center worldwide would undoubtedly enhance one's appreciation for this heritage artwork from the 19th century. Its decorative floral motifs add an elegant touch to its overall aesthetic appeal. As we gaze upon this extraordinary object today, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also of our shared cultural heritage between two nations separated by an ocean yet united through artistry and mutual respect.
