This charger most likely depicts King George I in coronation garb but the identification of royal portraits on delftware is not straightforward. Evidently, a similar standing figure was used to represent King George II, see the charger inscribed 'G II R' sold by Christie's, 27 February 1989, lot 148. Michael Archer discusses the dating of these portrait chargers in the ECC Transactions, Vol.11 Pt.2 (1982), p.116. See Pl.50(f) for a related charger in the Hall Warren Collection at the Ashmolean.
