Description

A fabulous ceramic plaque by William Mycock for Pilkingtons Royal Lancastrian, dating from around the 1930s, arts and crafts in style, the plaque has a leaping fish in waves and a circling seagull above, depicted in low relief, all set in a lovely soft seaside, in shades of green and blue.

Measuring approx. 26 cm in diameter, this is a great looking and highly decorative plaque from a highly regarded company.

William Mycroft started as a tile artist in the late 19th century; in 1906, to be precise, he moved to the Pilkingtons pottery department, where he remained until his retirement in 1938. He was actually the Pilkingtons loungest serving artist.

Offered in fabulous condition, there is a firing crack on the reverse under the rim, which does not detract at all. A beautiful example.

Date of Manufacture

Lee Sherman Antiques has dated this Ceramic Wall Plaque to the 1930s.

The Arts and Crafts movement emerged in the late 19th century as a reaction against industrialised mass production, prioritising traditional craftsmanship, hand-decorating techniques, and designs inspired by nature and folk art.

These pieces typically employ earthenware or stoneware bodies finished with specialised hand-mixed glazes, often incorporating lustre techniques, slip trailing, and hand-carved relief detailing.

Authenticity is determined by examining base signatures or artist ciphers, factory backstamps, glaze characteristics such as fine crazing, and the weight and texture of the clay body typical of the specific pottery works.

They make striking focal points when mounted on neutral walls to highlight their glaze colours, or displayed on specialist stands within shelving units to add texture and historical depth to a contemporary scheme.

Keep pieces out of direct sunlight to prevent glaze fading, dust gently with a soft dry cloth, and avoid using liquid cleaners or submersing items with fragile or crazed historical glazes in water.
