Antique Hand Painted Pottery Plaque with Pair of Lions England Circa 1800
$450.00This hand-painted Prattware plaque depicts a pair of lions resting side by side, modeled in bold relief with great vitality and charm. Made in England around 1800, the piece captures the early Staffordshire fascination with both natural history and decorative exuberance. The lions, likely content after a hearty meal, are rendered with expressive brushwork and lively texture. Their bodies are painted in a warm light brown, their manes and tails in a deeper shade, and their muzzles finished in a near-black brown that adds striking contrast. The vigorous painting style enhances the tactile quality of the molded forms, giving the scene a sense of immediacy and warmth. Prattware pieces like this were celebrated for their raised designs painted with underglaze oxides, which produced vivid and enduring colors when fired. The plaque, pierced at the top for hanging, is a fine example of late 18th-century English earthenware that blends folk energy with sculptural precision. Examples of this subject are illustrated in John and Griselda Lewis, Prattware: English and Scottish Relief Decorated and Underglaze Colored Earthenware 1780–1840, page 208, and in the Burnap Collection of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art (b.851).
