Provenance
Brian Morgan Collection
With Jonathan Horne, 1983
Graham Slater Collection

Illustrated by Michael Archer and Brian Morgan in the exhibition catalogue, Fair as China Dishes (1977), fig.7. Morgan notes that an original firing fault or air bubble in the clay has resulted in a small hole but this would not have mattered as the charger was probably intended for display rather than use. Many fragments of related geometric designs have been recovered on kiln sites in Southwark and Rotherhithe and Graham Slater found quantities of shards from such dishes while exploring the foreshore of the Thames.
