How were antique charger plates used?

These large vessels served beneath smaller course plates at formal dining tables to catch crumbs or retain heat. Over time, their generous painted surfaces made them natural candidates for wall display. Wealthy households utilised them to showcase imported porcelain, tin-glazed earthenware or saltglazed stoneware to visiting guests.

How do I hang a charger safely?

Displaying a large plate requires a coated wire hanger that distributes tension evenly across the rim. Avoid spring-loaded grips that apply concentrated pressure to fragile historic edges. Mount the hanger securely into a wall stud, given the considerable weight of eighteenth-century earthenware and ironstone.

What is the difference between delft and ironstone?

Delftware is a tin-glazed earthenware developed in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, known for its softer body and white opaque glaze. It scratches more easily than later ceramics. Ironstone, emerging in the nineteenth century, is a heavy, vitrified material designed to resist chipping and heavy domestic service.

How do I clean an antique ceramic charger?

Dust these historic surfaces gently with a dry, soft brush rather than using water or chemical cleaners. Moisture can penetrate old crazing lines or fragile earthenware bodies. Keep them away from direct sunlight and damp environments to protect the integrity of the original glazes and pigments.
