About the Item
This massive Whieldon creamware charger has an immediate physical authority.
Thrown with a wide, flat well and a generous rim, the form allows the dramatic surface to take full advantage of its size.
The creamware body is finished in a rich tortoiseshell palette, with iron-brown sponging over a warm cream ground and boldly applied green and blue splashes that pool and feather naturally in the firing.
Despite its mid-18th-century origins, the charger’s freely applied colored glazes give it a surprisingly modern visual presence.
The reverse retains strong kiln character, with firing marks entirely consistent with mid-18th-century English creamware pottery.
Tortoiseshell chargers of this scale are increasingly scarce, and this example stands out for both its size, design, and excellent state of preservation.
