W. L. Glaisher Applied Arts Lead-glazed creamware decorated in enamels with scene from the parable of the Prodigal Son. Pale cream-coloured earthenware covered in a clear lead-glaze and painted overglaze with coloured enamels. The plate has a six-lobed wavy rim bordered by a double moulded line. Each lobe is painted with red, yellow and blue bands around the edge and yellow scrolls, green leaves and a red cross in the centre. The scene in the middle of the plate shows the Prodigal Son and his brother receiving their patrimony from their father. The father is sat at a table on which is a jar labelled ‘4600 DUCATS’ and a pile of coins. He holds bills labelled ‘2000’, ‘400’, ‘300’ and ‘100’. The two brothers stand to his left and reach out to take the money. In the background, there are arches and columns, painted in imitation of red-veined marble; the tabletop also displays this marble effect. Beneath the scene is the title: ‘THE PRODIGAL SON’. Marked on the based with an impressed lozenge.

The Prodigal Son scenes on the plates are a common motif on Dutch decorated English creamware, often appearing with Dutch captions rather than the English ones. Some of scenes from this set of plates appear with different English captions on three stylistically comparable plates in the Metropolitan Museum in New York (1971.180.199-201). The lozenge mark on the plate is listed in Godden’s ‘Encyclopaedia of British Pottery and Porcelain Marks’ as being a workman’s mark used at the Swansea pottery c.1800-10 but Donald Towner suggests it also appears on 18th-century creamware, sometimes in conjunction with Wedgwood marks. This plate belongs to a set of six (C.1184-1928 - C.1184E-1928) which illustrates the parable of the Prodigal Son. The scenes on the plates are derived from Richard Purcell’s prints, published in London in that early 1750s, after a series of paintings of the Prodigal Son by the French artist Sebastien le Clerc. This plate shows the beginning of the parable: the father giving his patrimony to the Prodigal Son and his brother. reference term-107826 adlib-term-107826 5ccaf467-f3e1-3ead-8ffc-a5ee9e7c0f9a literal Britain Britain country Great Britain clear reference term-107733 adlib-term-107733 00160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4 lead-glaze cream-coloured reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware reference term-107563 adlib-term-107563 38dcd825-1de1-3222-82c6-15a95729b5ff enamels Diameter cm 25.1 Height cm 2.7 reference media-34829 adlib-media-34829 1c3266d4-1e00-37d1-8829-cbe0c7128b7e jpeg aa/aa2/C_1184_1928.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742582399527 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/mid_C_1184_1928.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742582399527 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/C_1184_1928.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742582399527 1 image jpeg aa/aa2/preview_C_1184_1928.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742582399527 1 image 0 media image reference term-34935 adlib-term-34935 b6750733-fe79-33fc-b39a-c296fcd223b4 plate history note provenance unidentified before Mr Stoner, London, who sold as part of set of six plates (C.1184-1928 – C.1184E-1928) for £26 on 13 January 1919 to Dr J.W.L.
