Description

A wonderful dish made from a mosaic of C18th slipware pieces mounted on a pewter dish. The fragments are likely to have been dug up, possibly from the grounds of a pottery workshop as they all seem to be of similar date. A pie crust edge has been formed around the edge to finish the piece. It is likely to have been put together in the early to mid 20th century when slipware pottery was becoming highly prized. A wonderful, decorative and highly individual piece of folk art with historic significance.

FAQs

Slipware pottery involves applying a liquid clay mixture to leather-hard pottery before firing, a technique practiced globally for centuries. Mosaic pieces crafted from broken pottery fragments, often known as pique assiette, repurpose damaged vessels into decorative folk art objects.

These items typically utilise local earthenware clays shaped by hand or on a potters wheel, coated with a contrasting slip, and finished with a transparent lead glaze. Shard mosaics are constructed by cementing broken ceramic fragments into a supportive base material to form a cohesive pattern.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural ageing such as glaze crazing, surface wear, and hand-applied slip decorations typical of historic regional potteries. Examination of the clay body, shard edges, and grout or mortar helps determine the period and fabrication method.

This type of decorative object can be displayed on a stand, mounted on a wall, or placed flat on a surface to add texture and historical narrative to a room. It integrates well into eclectic, rustic, and transitional design schemes by providing an element of tactile craftsmanship.

Historic ceramics should be kept in stable indoor environments away from direct sunlight and high humidity fluctuations. Cleaning should be limited to gentle dusting with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding water immersion or chemical cleaning agents.
