EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite saucer, dating back to the 18th century, is a true testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the Georgian era. Made from salt-glazed stoneware, this piece features delicate overglaze enamel decoration in vibrant shades of pink, red, yellow, green, and blue. The intricate floral design adds a touch of elegance to this otherwise simple yet stunning saucer.
The contrast between the white background and the colorful flowers creates a visually striking image that captures the essence of 18th-century ceramic art. This saucer is not just an object; it tells stories of a world long gone, where such pieces were treasured for their beauty and functionality.
Displayed against a plain white backdrop, this saucer stands out as a singular work of art that showcases the skill and creativity of its maker. Its round shape with square edges adds an interesting geometric element to its overall design.
Whether displayed on its own or as part of a larger collection, this salt-glazed stoneware saucer is sure to be a conversation starter. A true gem from London's past, this piece is a reminder of the rich history and heritage that continues to inspire us today.
