W. L. GlaisherApplied ArtsLead-glazed creamware painted 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 with a double moulded line around the edge. 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 standing in a pig pen; to his left are two pigs cramming their heads into a trough and to his left are a standing and a seated pig. His clothes look ragged, especially his breeches, which have a zigzag edge, as if torn. In the background are trees and a red-and-white marble effect archway. Beneath the scene is the title: ‘POVERTΫ’.

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 Prodigal Son destitute after he has squandered the money given to him by his father on worldly pleasures.clearreferenceterm-107733adlib-term-10773300160189-e3ce-3796-a88b-5aa8d6c808c4lead-glazecream-colouredreferenceterm-42861adlib-term-428615b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956cearthenwarereferenceterm-107563adlib-term-10756338dcd825-1de1-3222-82c6-15a95729b5ffenamelsDiametercm25.1Heightcm2.7referencemedia-34834adlib-media-348344feb5ae3-27ef-3f57-8a2b-a28052ee35aajpegaa/aa2/C_1184D_1928.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016162537542141imagejpegaa/aa2/mid_C_1184D_1928.jpg1heightpixels362widthpixels50016162537542141imagejpegaa/aa2/C_1184D_1928.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016162537542141imagejpegaa/aa2/preview_C_1184D_1928.jpg1heightpixels181widthpixels25016162537542141image0media
