Description: | The figurative style and glaze techniques used to make this piece, refer to the tradition of Staffordshire pottery, specifically Whieldon ware. The Whieldon factory, established in 1740 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 'holloware' making it extremely fragile. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1990 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Philip Eglin | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
