How were old chargers displayed?

Historical households mounted these large plates on walls or stood them on dresser shelves to showcase rich cobalt patterns to guests. The generous diameter of a charger made it an ideal focal point for formal rooms without serving practical dining functions.

Are these plates safe for food?

Historic earthenware pieces featuring early tin glazes suit display and decorative collections rather than modern culinary use. Surface wear and porous clay bodies mean these chargers function best as wall art or cabinet centerpieces.

How do I distinguish eighteenth-century pieces?

Eighteenth-century examples often exhibit looser brushwork and varied cobalt tones compared to later nineteenth-century interpretations. Examining the weight of the earthenware and the characteristics of the tin glaze helps determine the manufacturing period.

What causes crazing on the glaze?

Crazing develops as the underlying earthenware body and the surface glaze age at slightly different rates over centuries. This network of fine lines is a normal characteristic of historical ceramics rather than a structural fault.
