Description: | The figurative style and glaze techniques used to make this piece, refer to the tradition of Staffordshire pottery, specifically Whieldon ware. Established in 1740 the Whieldon factory was one of a large group of English ceramic factories based in Stoke-on-Trent. The two figures seen here are characteristic of nudes painted by Lucas Cranach, a 16th century German painter based in Vienna, whose own style draws on Italian Renaissance painting. This is an example of 'holloware' making it extremely fragile. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | makers ceramics contemporary craft | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
