Provenance
With Tristram Jelinek, 1976
Graham Slater Collection
This is a most curious variation on the typical shape of a charger, with an unusual deep centre. Graham Slater noted that there was a bowl of the same shape in Saffron Walden Museum. This pattern of tulips and carnations (or gillyflowers) is discussed by Michael Archer and Brian Morgan, Fair as China Dishes (1977), fig.21, where the authors suggest the design derives from Ottoman (Isnik) pottery. Interestingly, a similar border of a rope chevron occurs on the La Fecondité dish dated 1659 formerly in the Rous Lench Collection, see Graham Slater's ECC paper (1999), figs.29 and 30 where the present lot is also illustrated.
