Excelsior Platter
This is a platter. It was manufactured by Old Hall Earthenware Co., Ltd.. It is dated ca. 1880 and we acquired it in 1999. Its medium is glazed earthenware with transfer-printed decoration. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
The Old Hall Earthenware Company specialized in artistic designs for transfer-printed decoration onto earthenware and attracted the collaboration of the commercially minded Christopher Dresser. The abstraction, asymmetry, and medallions here show Japanese inspiration in motif and composition.
