Whieldon Creamware Tortoiseshell Plate 18th Century England, Circa 1765
$580.00This is a mid-18th-century creamware dish with exquisite tortoiseshell decoration. Made in England circa 1765, the plate is decorated in brown, green, and gold hues. The tortoiseshell decoration, also known as Whieldon ware, was developed by the English master potter Thomas Whieldon. To create this seemingly contemporary, abstract look, dry powdered metallic oxides were dusted onto the buff or cream-colored plate after its initial firing. The colored oxide stains ran freely when heated in the kiln. As a result, each piece of tortoiseshell creamware is unique. The plate was molded in a press, which created a raised scalloped design on the edge. Saltglaze and creamware plates with this edge were used in Colonial America and were found at Colonial Williamsburg.*
Dimensions: 9.25″ diameter
Condition: Very good with fine light craquelure in the glaze

The pure white porcelain base is covered with a glaze of a slightly blueish tint.

On the pair of dishes in the center, delicate peonies unfurl near a single chrysanthemum.
The dishes have four panels on the border, each showing elegant branches with beautiful plum blossoms.
The total effect is delightful!
Deeply rooted In Chinese tradition, the beautiful flowers on these dishes have symbolic meanings.
Much loved for their bold size and colors, peonies are known as the flower of “riches and honor (fuguihua),”
The cherished chrysanthemum, cultivated in China for three millennia, symbolizes both longevity and intellectual achievements, its allure transcending time.
While the plum blossoms, with their enduring bloom in the harshness of late winter, embody the virtues of resilience, purity, and optimism.
The undersides of these two dishes are marked in the center with the open lozenge, one of the revered Eight Precious Things*, and a symbol of good fortune and abundance.
Also, painted on the underside along the border, we see a traditional pair of scrolling vines (see image#12).

Blue and White Delft Dish Hand Painted with Dragon Netherlands C-1780
$580.00This exquisite dish is almost identical to a blue and white Delft dish in the Philadelphia Museum of Art Bequest collection of John W. Pepper. 1935-10-39.

A traditional Chinese scene can be beautiful and also convey symbolic meaning. Peonies symbolize female beauty, royalty, wealth, and honor in Chinese tradition and have long been adored for their bold size and beautiful colors.
