This pair of circular dinner plates belongs to the 1920 period of the American Arts and Crafts movement. Made from ceramic, the pieces display a crackle glaze finish in off-white at the centres and cobalt blue decoration around the borders. The raised rims show a repeated stylized duck motif against the dark blue background, while old backstamps appear on the reverse. Each plate measures 22 cm in diameter. Suitable for display in an English Country House interior, the pair works well placed on a sideboard top or styled within a decorative plate rack. The ceramic construction and distinct crackle glaze provide a rustic focal point for interior styling, blending traditional pottery techniques with animal motifs suitable for contemporary collection displays or everyday dining settings.

FAQs

Dedham Pottery originated in Massachusetts during the Arts and Crafts movement, producing distinctive crackle-glazed ceramics primarily between 1896 and 1943.

These items were crafted from earthenware bodies fired with a special glaze engineered to shrink faster than the clay body, creating a fine network of cracks that were highlighted with dark inks or stains.

Authentic examples feature distinct hand-painted cobalt blue border patterns, a visible crazed glaze structure, and impressed or painted maker marks on the underside.

Display these plates on plate stands atop a sideboard or mount them in a vertical grouping on a dining room wall to create a classic focal point.

Dust gently with a dry microfiber cloth and avoid soaking in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as moisture can enter the crackle glaze and stain the earthenware underneath.
