Large (43.5cm) Signed Charlotte Rhead Crown Ducal Byzantine Charger – Art Deco Tubelined Design, Circa 1930s (43.5 Cm)

1920 - 1940
Description

Large Signed Charlotte Rhead Crown Ducal Byzantine Charger – Art Deco Tubelined Design, Circa 1930s (43.5 cm)

A stunning and generously sized signed Crown Ducal charger in the highly sought-after Byzantine pattern by celebrated Staffordshire designer Charlotte Rhead (1885–1947). This beautiful hand-painted charger showcases Rhead’s exceptional tubelining technique, for which she became renowned.

Decorated in vibrant Art Deco colours, the design features stylised lilies, primroses and acanthus leaves, all set against a wonderfully rich honey-mottled marbled ground. The raised tubelined outlines give the piece a tactile quality, making it as pleasing to handle as it is to admire. A bold bright border frames the composition perfectly.

The reverse carries the Crown Ducal stamp, the pattern number, and the full Charlotte Rhead signature.

This impressive charger measures 43.5 cm in diameter and is a striking decorative statement piece. The Art Deco colours remain bright, crisp and unfaded, and the charger rings true when tapped. It is in lovely overall condition with no cracks, stains or fading.

A superb example of Rhead’s Art Deco craftsmanship, perfect for collectors and ideal as a feature piece in any interior, larger than yoiuy average charger.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Art Deco tubelined ceramics feature raised outlines created by piping slip onto the earthenware surface before applying coloured glazes. This technique produces stylised floral or geometric motifs typical of British art pottery from the 1930s era.

Most decorative chargers of this period were produced using earthenware clay finished with polychrome lead or oxide glazes. The designs were traced using liquid slip tubes prior to hand-painting and firing.

Authentic pieces typically feature a hand-painted signature or initials on the reverse, accompanied by manufacturer backstamps such as Crown Ducal. Look for distinct raised slip tubelining and pattern numbers stamped or painted on the base.

A large charger can be placed on a plate stand atop a sideboard or mounted securely to a focal wall. Displaying the object against neutral backdrops highlights its coloured geometric and floral patterns.

Clean tubelined ceramics gently using lukewarm water, a neutral soap, and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads, chemical cleaners, or long soaking, as moisture can enter fine glaze crazing.
