Provenance
With Anthony Belton, 1974
Graham Slater Collection

A design interpreted from Montelupo maiolica, probably by way of the Netherlands, Leaf and Fruit chargers continued to develop in English delftware from the mid-17th century until about the 1730s when the palette and style becomes increasingly tighter and more formulaic. A charger in the Fitzwilliam Museum of the same profile and related design as the present lot is attributed to London, last quarter of the 17th century, see Michael Archer, Delftware (2013), A.75. Two later Bristol chargers are included as A.77 and A.78.
