Circular with a wide rim and deep curved sides, standing on a foot-ring. In the centre is an owl in a circular medallion surrounded by radiating oak leaves and forest animals amid stylised oak trees. Above these, and extending across the rim, are eight leaf arches, each containing a black and white striped vase encircled by eleven, long-stemmed, stylised daisies on alternate pale blue and black backgrounds. The triangular space between each leaf arch contains a thistle. There is a thin white band around the edge and another, crossed only by the leaf arches, between the centre of the dish and the rim. Around the back is a wide garland of thin leaves and flowers. There is a narrow foot-rim, within which the underside is flat and glazed.

In 1906, in conjunction with Wedgwood, he set up a studio at 20 Red Lion Square, where he and his wife, (Ada) Louise Lessore (1882-1856), hand-decorated biscuit-ware from Wedgwood’s Etruria factory. Alfred was originally an architect and Louise a calligrapher and illuminator. Together, they trained decorators at the Etruria factory, revived some late eighteenth century patterns, experimented with painting on tin-glaze and were influential in re-introducing hand-painting after World War I; they also hand-painted furniture for Ernest Gimson and Sydney Barnsley. Exhibiting regularly at the Arts & Crafts exhibitions from 1906-1935, their works were widely praised as ‘unique productions’ and ‘admirable examples of design and facture’, dominating the field until the growth of studio pottery in the mid-1920s. Powell was inspired by the designs of the Arts & Crafts Movement, and the influence of William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones can be seen in the decoration of this dish: the animals and foliage remind, particularly, of tapestries made by Morris & Co at Merton Abbey. A pair of similar dishes, one with an owl and the other with a peacock at its centre, were in the Zeitlin Collection until 2004. Many of Powell’s designs are based on plant and animal motifs, others feature architectural views and calligraphy. He and Louise Powell also created simpler patterns for factory production during the 1920s-30s. reference term-109008 adlib-term-109008 841b18bd-944d-3c9c-8d39-bdaabbcc28e1 20th Century, Early reference term-113623 adlib-term-113623 87ef9eaf-54a8-3838-8337-94dbf03aad62 literal England England country Etruria reference term-133197 adlib-term-133197 9c1c4791-dc90-3e69-a6f3-2c68cff2d78b literal England England country Red Lion Square creamware reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware reference term-37088 adlib-term-37088 0a28530e-cea8-3d08-b792-a30bf68f524f clear glaze Diameter cm 47 Height cm 7.5 reference media-11614 adlib-media-11614 b2f72f97-3ad1-32fe-915a-0b5799220afb jpeg aa/aa19/C_49_1972_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 751 1702926747272 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/mid_C_49_1972_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 506 width pixels 500 1702926747272 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/C_49_1972_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 751 1702926747272 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/preview_C_49_1972_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 253 width pixels 250 1702926747272 1 image 0 media image reference media-435023322 portfolio portfolio-media-435023322 a9a428cd-c229-30e0-b0fb-3665542c7e7a jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/533/374/large_C_49_1972_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 1037 width pixels 1024 1529570786000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/533/374/mid_C_49_1972_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 506 width pixels 500 1529570786000 1 image C.49-1972_mas.jpg 1529570786000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/533/374/preview_C_49_1972_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 253 width pixels 250 1529570786000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/533/374/C_49_1972_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 1980 width pixels 1956 1529570786000 1 image 1 media image reference term-91893 adlib-term-91893 c6d3d5cf-83f5-3284-b561-9f90a0334aa4 charger reference term-90855 adlib-term-90855 b48207ec-774d-3e3e-8ab3-536996bc5dac dish history note Charles and Lavinia Handley-Read Collection; both died 1971; purchased from Thomas Stainton, executor of the Handley-Read Estate 1 also several other drawings same artist reference object-18913 adlib-object-18913 17442c7d-b20d-3da0-81fd-e2e171f95b31
